I'm depressed and full of anxiety they say I'n Bi-polar II.. Used to be major depression with anxiety disorder to incluse panic attacks and agoraphobia.
Prozac was a life saver back in 1996 I never felt so good in all my life.
I was able to function at the highest level I was ever at in my life.
Then things changed My anxiety was still much better but I started to get lethargic and sleep alot and gained alot of weight.
It lost it's zest.
I guess it's safe to say it didn't hold the depression at bay.
I could not tolerate wellbutrin as an add on.
so I stayed that way for years.
until the bipolar II thing emerged and that my intial euphoria could have been mild hypomania.
hell I'd what I wouldn't give to feel that way again.
any way no I just take klonopin.. now I have alot of life issues and start with anew therapist soon so fingers crossed that will help.
but what med?
This new doc tried me on topomax talk about making me stupid and clumsy.
Geodon no..no... no... I'm petrified of that stuff.
Abilify made me bounce off the wall.
no more antipsycotics.. I won't take them
Trileptal did nothing.
How about a prozac & Lamictal combo?Thanks
