Since I've broken my foot, I've had a series of steroid shots.
Bad move. Been super irritable, a few rage attacks, etc. steroids are bad for bipolars!
Gone back to 600mg Trileptal and 3 mg Klonopin and this has helped - Trileptal effects my vision terribly, but helps.
Since I'm still a wack job, I'm going back to 80mg of Geodon for added to stability, since it gave me stability before. I know I can always go higher on Trileptal if need be as well - and get stronger glasses!
I was already having hypomania from Adderall use, now steroids induced mania, I need more stability. 80mg of Geodon is supposed to be good for this. It helped before! Just no more Adderall this time.
At least my doc will be happy I went back on Trileptal, even if I have to wear glasses!
Any thoughts?
I know I've changed med dosages too much lately, but the series of steroids REALLY threw fuel on the already burning fire. I refused oral steroids because of this, the shots were too much!
Definitely, no more Adderall.
