I take six drugs to treat bipolar depression. For each one, I tested its utility by attempting to discontinue it, and then titrating a second time to establish the lowest effective dosage. Each of the drugs I take is critical to the therapeutic improvement I glean from treatment.
Parnate (tranylcypromine) - 80 mg/day
Pamelor (nortriptyline) - 150 mg/day
Lamictal (lamotrigine) - 300 mg/day
Lithium (lithium carbonate) - 300 mg/day
Abilify (aripiprazole) - 10 mg/day
Minipress (prazosin) - 30 mg/dayThe brain is a universe of structures, physiology, and chemical reactions. There are a myriad of things that control the excitability and firing of neurons and their routing to produce functioning circuits.
