> Do you ruminate much? Looking at your medication, it would seem that you are fighting against obsessions, rumination, and social anxiety. That's a rough guess, but I am curious as to what you are attempting to treat. I like Topamax. I have seen it work wonders for mixed-state bipolar disorder. Where does it fit in your treatment?

Well, today another med change at docs. I am on Abilify now, 5mg, hope to go up to 15...then more if needed.
The mixed state BP is partially what I am trying to treat, since I have the dysphoric type of mania. I do too occasionally get more classic manic symptoms, but I can catch it before it gets worse. The idea here is to hammer that internal restless/anxiety down...really deep. This combo has done the job, but Risperdal is just like taking candy now. Abilify has had a very positive effect on me in the past, and now I am going to stick with it. What do you think?
Best,
Jay
