I finally went back to my Pdoc. After a very long session, this is the new mix:
10mg Lexapro (down from 20mg)
200mg Topamax (up from 100mg, eventual increase to 300 mg over the next 4 weeks, 25mg per week)
1mg Ativan "as needed" for immediate stress attacks.
25mg Seroquel before bed for sleep.
I'm curious if anyone has had experience with (or an opinion about) that mix. Quick background on what the mix is for: I have BP type II, currently dealing with dysphoric mania, and I'm cycling very rapidly. My Pdoc calls this mix a "knock down", meaning he's trying to slow me down enough to get me back into being able to sleep and think about one thing at a time.
All responses read and appreciated.
