Hi,
I'm bp II and i have a bad bipolar depression. I have absolutely no emotion. I want to get back my ability to enjoy life again, to laugh, to cry, though. I'm taking Effexor XR 150 mg, Lamictal 200 mg and Risperdal (as needed for crisis). I tried Ritalin without success.
Please, i desesperately need suggestions. What can i add (meds), remove, lower, etc?
Ah may be a clue here. When i take a 5HT2a antagonist i feel better. I feel myself *present* with the others. I'm scared to take an atypical antipsychotic on a regular basis. I can't stand the weight gain on Remeron...
