Thanks for everyone's feedback. Rainee, I noticed you're taking a stimulant in your med mix. Don't you find that destablizing? Or does the abilify and klonopin keep everything in check? I used Klonopin and stimulants for years and in my case, I think the Stimulants could have quickended my cycling and subsequent meltdown. That was also before my BPolar diagnosis (diagnosed for years prior as ADD).
Would like to get an antidepressant on board and recently I've tried the ENSAM patch which made me just too nervous. Apparently, hits the same receptor sites as a stimulant. Funny how the brain and body change after a meltdown. I used to drink several esspresos a day, take a stimulant and calm down by using klonopin and a beta blocker and felt fine (maybe a little too fine). Now I can barely drink decaf!
Its great you found a cocktail that works.
Thanks again for your feedback
