> That's are strange mix of drugs, did the one doctor give them all to you? I would restart Topamax if you liked it.

- I've been in the hospital 6 times. My drug cocktail is result of many, many doctors. My parents say they like me better off the Topamax. They say I was a little zombie-like on it. I felt that way too. I don't know what to do.

> How well do you tolerate Abilify & does taking more of it stop hallucinations?

- I get akathisia and anxiety on any higher doses of Abilify. It does work well to stop the hallucinations. But at such a low dose, I'm not sure how thigs are going. I think I'm still haullunating.

> Remeron & Wellbutrin can both cause crankiness & irritability, I would be inclined to drop Remeron because at that doseage it is just a powerful antihistamine which Seroquel is too.

- My doctor is counting on Remeron to get me to sleep at night. It was the first AD that acutally worked for me so every doctor has been afraid of dropping it. Remeron I've been on for over a year, and Wellbutrin and Seroquel I've been on for about a year. They wouldn't still be making me cranky, would they?

> If you have BP, it would be BP2. BP1 is the illness foremely known as manic-depression. BP2 has hypomania or mixed stated but no severe mania.

- Thanks, that makes sense. Another question though. Even with psychosis you can be BP2?


Thank again,
