I usually don't take med changes into my own hands but since my pdoc is out of town, I decided to try going without the strattera to see what would transpire. It is now day 4 and the depression, agitation, and anxiety have lessened considerably. It is the 50 mg of zoloft and 1200 mg of Trileptal that is keeping me afloat.
I can't help to feel anger about spending the past year going from AD to AD, increasing dosages, combining, etc. , etc.. I clearly expressed to my pdoc my rapid mood cycling and my adverse reactions to AD's but instead of backing down on the AD's, he took the opposite approach.
If I have learned one thing from all of this it is that I must continually remain proactive in my treatment. I am so grateful for this board and for those of you that offer such knowledge and compassion.
