BP!/OCD Changing Meds, Need Advice

Posted by cycling on October 25, 2010, at 21:10:34

So here's what I've been on:
Lithium 600 mg (still on)
Lamictal 400 mg (didn't work)
Seroquel 200 mg (didn't work)
Klonopin 1 mg (still on)
Luvox 150 mg (still on)
So your question is, well what am I treating? My pdoc thinks I'm co-morbid OCD/Mania. All of this started when I had an intrusive sexual thought, and the rest was history. I lost control, and we believe that manifested into mania. Anyways, my biggest problem right now is ruminating, and I still have the intrustive thoughts, though they don't bother me nearly as much as they used to, but yes, they are still there. I've calmed down tremendously since I've been on medication, which started in April of this year. I've progressed since then, but I've come to a point where my progress has become stagnant. We were hoping adding the luvox would relive the obsessing/rumination/intrusive thoughts, but it didn't really. I still have problems with agitation and moodiness from time to time, especially in the morning, but I figure that may just be normal. I've noticed that I sleep, ALOT. It's very difficult for me to wake up and feel "refreshed." Anyways, I'm posting this to ask your opinion on options on what you think could work for me?
My thoughts:
Celexa/Risperidone - Celexa for the OCD, Risperidone for the racing/ruminating thoughts
Anafranil/Klonopin - Klonopin for the anxiety, Anafranil for the OCD
I can't think of anything else. My appointment is on Friday, so any advice would be appreciated. I want to get off the Lithium ASAP, I can't stand the hand tremor.
