I had a bad anxiety attack about a year and a half ago and my p-doc increased my lithium to 1200 MG and added Abilify. I don't remember the dosage. The Abilify stopped the anxiety attack and he kept me from going to the hospital. I was freaking out and he quelled the attack ans doing fine but then I was having bad side effects couldn't talk to people and was having memory problems. I was communicating that something wasn't right to my therapist and p-doc that I only see every 3 months, but we didn't make any changes. I told a guy I was dating about my diagnosis and what I was taking and he suggested that the Abilify was causing the side effects. I readdressed with therapist and p-doc and they took me off the Abilify and I am a functioning capable person again. I do have an emergency pack of Abilify that my doc says to keep on hand and take in case of emergency.

I take blood tests once a quarter with the Lithium so that helps to see if my meds are doing okay.

I have been on a bunch of other drugs. I can't remember all of them but Zyprexa was the first drug I was put on when I was diagnosed with BP and it turned me into a zombie. I was taking Geodon at one point and seeing my p-doc and therapist regularly but still had a very bad manic episode. My p-doc retired and I got with this new p-doc and he put me on Lithium and Lamictal and it seems to have worked for me thus far. I haven't had a bad manic episode for almost 4 years and I've come out of my depression which I'm not sure was truly due to BP issues versus all the fallout of my bad manic episode. Husband left me, kicked me out of the house, took custody of my child, etc.
