Hello,
I am trying to sort out what meds work for me and what don't, I guess with the help of my doctor. Anyway, here is my situation.
12 years ago was diagnosed with sever depression went on paxil did wonders and I decided to go off it after 1 1/2 years at which time I did a nose dive into deep depression again. When through many antidepressants. I was put on effexor and adderall, I loved the combo but my pdoc said what I loved was hypomania and not good. I was diagnosed:
with BP II ( I am not confident I have it I think it is severe anxiety)
I have obsessive negative thoughts and extreme rumination.
I can't orgaize my thoughts or think through something
It takes me minutes to get an idea out after someone asks me a question
So I was taken off the effexor and adderall and things have sucked since. I am on lamictal (50 mgs) starting to tittrate up, trileptal 900 mgs and lithium 900 mgs. Personally I think the lithium is worthless my doctor disagrees she says she can see a difference when I am on it. I want to tackle my depression first and my cognitive problems they are what are causing me the most despair.Any thoughts on meds?
Thanks
