Blndefire,
Oh my goodness, it seems you have so much on your plate right now! I think that if it seems overwhelming, it might just be because it is. I know that the meds can seem to be quite alot, but there are alot of people here who will attest to the fact that once the right combination is found, you will start feeling so much better.
I take effexor XR, 300 mg per day, and also Lithium, Seroquel, Cogentin, and a few others. I can say that I actually do feel better than I did. That doesn't mean that I always feel fine, I still have times when I struggle, I still find that at times I am in crisis, but these times are spreading out, and the lows aren't as low, and the highs don't get me in trouble like they used to.
What I'm saying is that seeing how many meds you are put on can be alarming, but it doesn't mean that you are especially sick, it's just everyone is different, and need a different mix.
Please take care of you,
Dee.
