what med next for obsessive/depressive/bipolar?

Posted by holymama on April 30, 2004, at 15:00:44

Does anyone have any ideas for what I might want to consider next?

I'm taking 15 mg lexapro
Also 900 mg trileptal

I think the lexapro might be pooping out on me. I've not been very stable on these meds, rapid cycling, and recently in a 6 week severe depression. An increase in lexapro didn't help. I still feel fragile. I'm starting with a new pdoc tomorrow.

I get very depressed so am more concerned about that end of my bipolar.

I would like to stop this rapid cycling and be more stable.

I am concerned about weight gain.

I would like more energy. Normally I have a fidgety kind of energy that is gone on my current meds, and I would like that energy back! I used to get so much done and now I am so lethargic.

Any ideas/suggestions from anyone? If my new pdoc asks me what I might like to try next, I would like to give her some ideas. I'm excited for a change in brain chemistry. :)
