In reply to Anyone On Only 5mg Of Lexapro? Anyone Bipolar?, posted by BabyBunny on June 19, 2007, at 16:16:19
Also I should add that Lamictal makes me manic and feel horrible. And drives my anxiety through the roof. I just want to add that because everytime I post something it seems as though someone says try Lamictal. I have tried it 5 times I think and it just doesn't work for me no matter what it's combined with. :(
> Hey all. Well I'm back because we're still trying to find a good combo to help stabilize my Bipolar I Mixed with Rapid Cycling, Borderline PD and All the Anxiety/Panic Disorders.

> It's now clear I HAVE to take something to combat the depressive part of my Bipolar. I've tried them all but not in combination with certain mood stabilizers.

> So right now the thought is maybe adding just 5mg of Lexapro to the now 250mg of Depakote and 3mg of Xanax XR I take each day. I am one who seems to do better on low doses and cannot tolerate high doses of anything (except things for anxiety as my anxiety is so severe).

> Again we're grasping at straws. And Geodon and the like don't really do much for my depression although I've been prescribed those types of meds for both depression and mood stabilization. I do however take 25-50mg of Seroquel at night, but that's for sleep (along with 3mg Lunesta).

> Has anyone ever tried this combo? Lexapro and Depakote? What about at such low strengths? What about with Bipolar or Borderline PD?

> Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am constantly on the search for something to stabilize me. The past 2 weeks have been horrible with SEVERE mixed episodes all the time.

> Thank everyone. Have a great day/night!
