> Thanks for responding. I was diagnosed as BP2, although there has been evidence of some mixed episodes. Looking back, I can see a lot of manias, fortunately, they were very productive ones, with my finances getting the most beating from them.
> I'm taking 20 mg. paxil, 100 mg Eltroxin, Alertic, 7.5 mg zopiclone and .05 mg clonazapam, although I'm having a sleep study done soon for sleep apnea, as my sleep is terrible. I've taken mostly all mood stabilizers, but can't hack them.> Any comments welcomed.
Just Herself,
Are you sure it's okay for me to give my comments? I ask because I have serious disagreement with the med tx your pdoc has you on. But, I will hold my tongue until I have more information.
What was the purpose of Ritalin which has now been replaced with Alertic?
Please list the moodstablizers that you have taken and the reason you could not tolerate each.
Have you ever taken an antipsychotic medication? If so, which one(s) and what was your response?
