Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. I am new with this site. I appreciate all of the advise given. I am just so overwhelmed with my med situation. When I try to talk with my Dr. she makes comments like if I need to talk more I should just get a therapist. Also, saying that I am one of her only patients that she gets so frustrated with. I cant help it that I get the worst side effects of the meds. Than when she puts me on all these meds. I cant figure out which med is messing with me. I live in a little town here in Ky. I lose hope at times because there are not many psychiatrist at all. I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder in middle school I have been on so many different medications it would blow your mind. This mix has been like 2 to 3 years, I am practically medicating myself. Keeping tons of journals of my milligrams and weighing pros and cons. The Seroquil is to help me sleep rid the racing thoughts. She said it is for depression as well. The geodon for mood swings and OCD. Lamactial for depression as well. Binzotropine to keep me stable because one of the medications make me shake so bad it looks as if I am going to go into convulsion's. Vistaral for panic attacks and to make sure that I don't become manic. She says that I have to be on an antidepressant and a mood stabilizer so I don't become manic or too depressed to get out of bed. Couple of questions 1.) Does depakote make you gain weight? 2.) Can two anti psychotics make you feel psychotic? 3.) Can Geodon mess with your head? 4.) Reasons to have hope that I will finally find something that works for me. 5.) Am I the only one having this many issues. Again, Thanks so much for your feedback. Hope I didn't bore you with my rant.
