Hello. 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 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 today we added 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 trying something new with hope. And Geodon, Lamictal, and the like don't really do much for my depression (they make me too anxious) 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 of Lexapro and Depakote? What about at such low strengths?
ANY AND ALL 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 you. Have a great day!
