well I've finally 'met' someone who has taken as many meds as I have. I agree 100% with the earlier posters concerning symbyax- I also see it as a ploy by big pharma to make more money and basically useless as an effective med. Since I also am so treatment resistant, my docs treat episodes- in my case my very destructive manias. I take depakote and zyprexa (if psychotic) until stable and then taper off since I get depressed quite easily from depakote. Depressions are treated with therapy and opiates (fortunately I don't have too many depressive episodes). The only med I take full time is klonopin, and that has been extremely effective for panic disorder.
best of luck- judy
