Lamdage,
I just wanted to say that I was glad to read the message that you wrote below. I think it's encouraging that you've decided to give your doctors' plans a chance and that you're not giving up on psychiatry just yet. I also like that you're thinking about Solian and Topamax as medications that you might want to try somewhere down the road, possibly as a back-up plan of sorts if what you're taking now doesn't work out for you. What about Topamax do you find appealing? Would you be using it as a mood stabilizing/anti-manic agent?

> Ok, I agreed to whatever Seroquel Dosage they find appropriate up to 800. And i told them that my hope right now is that i can tolerate a high enough Parnate dosage with the help of Seroquel and they seem to be ok to go along with that. So they will raise it to id say at least 30mg. If im lucky maybe 40 or 50.

I have to tell you though, there isnt too much patience left with this whole meds stuff although i want to force myself to try.
