> Cyber, is this aripiprazole the "goldilocks" antipsychotic? Just wondering. I know what you
Yeah.. I still don't know how safe it is to take a drug as soon as it hits the market -- would want to know more about past med catastrophies, and how to avoid them :)
>mean about feeling "warm and fuzzy" and NOT having a direct circuit to a bunch of loud, intrusive, thought loops. Gabapentin does seem
have you found anything that works for slowing down thoughts but not depressing you?
i don't know if i should be taking a mood stabilizer for a mixed state, or an anxiolytic for anxiety/OCD!but then the GABA agents ... tiagabine/gabitril, vigabatrin/sabril, work on anxiety and mixed states ??? how many times do these have to be taken a day?
>to convert the *icky energy* in a mixed state and make it a bubbly positive type of energy. I just can't stand needing to take something three, four, five times a day... If you don't mind that sort of thing Depakote+gabapentin works pretty good.
what other option have you come across?
does lamictal do anything to calm you ?
