> You know that you need one or more strong moodstabilizers on-board asap, correct?
-------------------
I'm on 400mg of Lamictal. Unfortunately, all of the other ones have made my mood much worse. I haven't tried Keppra, but I don't have much hope with that one.
DEPEKOTE - worse
TRILEPTAL - Years ago. But after a couple of weeks I was in a bad agitated mixed state. I remember an ongoing desire to slash my neck, etc.
LITHIUM: tried twice. the first time it made me worse. the 2nd time was as an augmenter to Lamictal.
TOPOMAX: not only did I have no clue what my address was when being asked for it. I wrote down "internal ranting & raving"
NEURONTIN: bad, bad. Within 2nd day.Antipsychotics - I am scared to try any more. And if they block some of the dopamine, I'm confused how they help depression...?
GEODON: Ended up doing an ECT round!
ABILIFY: 2 trials.
ZYPREXA: more agitated
SEROQUEL: restless leg stuffverapamil - even though it's been dismissed, I still wonder if it is worth trying.
