saywhat?;I'm on 200mg of lamictal and 300 mg of wellbutrin. I am prescribed a sleeping pill, but only take it as needed which ends up being approximately 6 times a month when I'm on night shifts.

I have been on 2 anti-d's before, but it was because the combination of my mood stabilizer (lithium) and atypical anti-psychotic (seroquel) kept me too low. As soon as I was off the seroquel I no longer needed the 2nd anti-d.

Was the adderall prescribed prior to you being diagnosed BP?

For managing my BP 60% is from my meds. The other 40% comes from individual therapy (approx once a month), educating myself on BP, eating healthy (includes taking a multi-vitamin, vitamin C, omega 3, calcium with vitamin D), exercising, I do work shift work, but I ensure I sill get enough of sleep. I also track my mood at http://www.medhelp.org/land/mood-tracker
