Sid I'm not sure. Mood stabalizer on board so covered. AD effexor maybe too high? I'm sure someone will offer more. Also the person is on something for anxiety and sleep. Phillipa

Do these meds make you feel better or worse or is it difficult to say?
Of course if you stopped it would be terrible, I understand, but do you feel better for taking them.
That is a lot of meds to be taking to be feeling really reactive, easily irritated, really anxious and scattered.
Although, of course, I think it's trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
I'm not sure I'd want to add anything.
Do you have any idea which drug may be contributing to either the reactivity, the irritation, the anxiety or the scatteredness?
Actually, the scatteredness probably comes with the territory of lots of these drugs.
But what about the other symptoms?

Trileptal for anger impulse control.
Topamax for mixed-state hypomania.

zyprexa for all of the above. Or maybe more seroquel, which I've never taken.
