I have been reading this site for years and this is my first post. I really need some help. I have been diagnosed as bipolar and feel like I have tried everything there is to try. Some things work for a while but the lack of motivation and depression keep coming back. (The mania seems to be under control which was the fun part of the condition.) I am currently on Lamictal 300mg/day, Lexapro 40mg/day, Abilify 60mg/day and Adderall XR 30 mg/day. The only thing that seems to lift the depression is the adderall. I'm ok in the morning but when it wears off I'm back to depressed again. Seems like I am living for my next adderall fix. I've been on two many drugs in the past to list and starting to lose hope. Does anyone have any idea what I should try next? My doctor is pretty open and will let me dictate what I take (within reason). Is there anything I should add to this cocktail? I have an appointment tomorrow and just wondering where I should go from here. Thanks in advance for your help.
