Hi,
I am BP II and have short and infrequent mania. Mostly depression with a few good days here and there. Personally, I am not sure I am BP and never wanted to start the mood stabilizers. They have done nothing but suck the life out of me.
I have been on lithium for 1 year 1200 mgs mostly now at 900 mgs. Lamictal I was on for one month about a year ago then was taken off of it, not sure why. I just started it again one month ago I am at 50 mgs right now and I take 900 mgs trileptal.
I have read others that say since their mania is short and infrequent their doctors did not put them on mood stabilizers, I wish mine didn't. FYI I was on adderall and effexor a couple of years ago which I loved made me energetic focused but was considered hypomanic, I still think of this combo every day.Looking forward to your thoughts.
