> Hello All,

> I just want to ask a few questions to see if anyone has any suggestions that might help my situation. I'm bipolar/ADD/Chronic Depression. currently taking Cymbalta,Lamictal,Abilify,Concerta and Immediate release Ritalin. The problem I'm having is Popouts continually. I was on Adderall xr for the ADD and switched to Concerta and IR ritalin. Now I'm gaining weight for some reason. Then there's the Lamictal. I've taken this so long that I think it has reached it's peak. Cymbalta is making my hair fall out and giving me acne for some reason. Bottom line. All the meds I'm taking and side-effects from them are leading me to think that I'm treatment resistant. Please Help!!I agree with Likadge. You are on a lot of meds. Pdocs have a tendency to just add another med if you complain of not doing well as you are. I would think a combination of Adderall and Concerta might make you feel worse.
OTOH, there are been period where I was on three different benzos to control the fear I was experiencing. So it's hard to say what you need to do. I would suspect the amphetamine meds would poop out very easily. They are so easy to build a tolerance to.
