Hi my friends,
I don't think i need presentations anymore. Thus most of you know me now.
Summary: 10 years ago i've been diagnosed bipolar II. Most of the time i was feeling fine and it was lasting.
My current meds are :
- Lithium -> 900 mg
- Lamictal-> 200 mg
- Effexor -> 150 mg
- Seroquel-> 25 to 50 mg at nightAnd Prevacid 30 mg. Last month I develop an ulcer due to extreme anxiety.
My friends, i'm suffering mentally and physically.
In the morning i'm unable (or almost) to get out of bed. During the night i'm unable to sleep unless i take more Seroquel. I have memory problems. During one moment i feel tired, sleepy. After that i have more energy and motivation but i feel panicy. On top of that, i'm feeling heavily melancholic.
This is the worst crisis i've never had. I had suicidal ideation. But my 2 little boys are there to keep my feet on earth. God bless them.
Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any suggestions? Clues? Comments?
My pdoc plans to increase soon my lamictal to 300 mg. Sounds good. But i fear the agitation it will bring. Do i have other alternatives?
Thanks to you!
