I am reaching my wit's end at this point in my treatment. I have been diagnosed with BPII after a very long road of being non-responsive to every antidepressant there is, as well as just about every single mood stabilizer....I am exquisitely sensitive to side effects. I currently am taking 5mg Abilify, can't take more and can't take less; 20 mg Buspar because the Abilify makes me anxious as anything I have ever taken; Ambien, Tranxene....about 30-45mg/day; Synthroid and a sliver of Serzone because I do not seem to do without it...oops, I mean Nefazadone, along with a bunch of vitamins, fish oil and other supplements. Is there anyone out there who can relate to my problems and offer an sort of advice? I go to a wonderful psychopharmacologist who has tinkered and tweaked to get us where we are, but I feel that there has to be a way to control the anxiety...more than 20mg of Buspar is toxic to me...and the pacing and occasional panic without going off the Abilify. I also cannot take any kind of SSRI or Lithium. Any suggestions?
