I wish that those meds were working better for you. I take xanax 3x a day at .5mg too. I have started to only take it twice a day and "save" the extra dosage for when I am really stressing out. My doc tries to put me on lots of meds too, as I seem to have medicine resistant depression, but I do not like to be on huge combos of stuff. I have done that a few times, but I always end up taking myself off everything and we have to start over. Right now I am just on 200 mg of Wellbutrin sr 2x a day, 3mg of Invega once a day and the xanax. I've tried abilify, geodon, topomax, geeze, I cannot remember all of the anti-psychotics, as well as pretty much all of the anti-depressants. I am too chicken to try lithium as I have gained a ton of weight already on all these other meds, I don't know if I could handle the extra weight that seems to be inherent with lithium.

How are you feeling today? How much sleep are you getting?
