Hi all. I am confused. I currently take lithium, lamictal, and topamax daily. I have been taking these meds very succesfully for the past 6 months. I am bp 1, and have been on an even keel for this time. Wonderful!
I know that this is often short lived, so it's not like I am expecting miracles here! I am, however, becoming greatly worried that ALL of my meds are pooping out at once! The topamax kept me from obsessing about food, and binge/purge issues. Those old feelings are creeping back. The depression is creeping back, pdoc upped lamictal. Also, the orange cats are in the hall, so the lithium has also been increased.
My question is this........has anyone else experienced a total breakdown of their meds all at once? I'm most upset about the topamax! It was so wonderful to not be consumed w/ food all day!
I'm sure that my pdoc will say sure it happens, but I want some human perspective, not clinical. He's really good at keeping me healthy, but I need some input from some people like myself. Thanks:) Heather.
P.S. I hate having to take all of these pills w/ all of their side effects. Just a tidbit of information about me.
