OK...first my med regime:
80 mg fluoxetine a day
4 mg klonopin (clonazepam) a day
10 Zyprexa a day
200 mg Seroquel at bedtime
100 mg nortriptyline at bedtime
50 mg Topamax at bedtime.Yes...sounds crazy...but I am a very big, heavy, tall guy, and I need the bigger doses. My "official" diagnosis is BPII. Ever since going on the Prozac, and an extent to the nortriptyline, I have gained massive weight.(Yes, Zyprexa did cause initial weight gain.) The Prozac and nortrip seem to be triggering some havy ups and downs in mood. Anger has also become a major problem. I take a bunch of clonazepam, am fine, but after many times, run out of it. Plus, my sex drive is DEAD...just plain dead. This is not acceptable, as I have been on these meds for many years. It's time I got my cake and eat it to. ;-)
So I am thinking a few things...(while taking away Prozac and nortrip) and would really appreciate other's responses
-try adding Mirapex
-try Strattera (afraid of anxiety...but heard it was not so bad)
-already tried all stimulents and Welbutrin....YUK!(for me, anyways.)
-serzone not avail. in Canada anymore :-(Any help..please. I've tried the tricyclics (well others besides nortrip) and they did no good.
Any help is greatly appreciated..
Thanks,
Jay
