bipolarmedstudent - I appreciate the feedback. I also like the way you keep track of your meds. I really like that; it looks like you did it via the signature option. Interesting.

I need to start recollecting what I've been put on that didn't work. Unfortunately, Lamictal was one of those that did nothing one way or the other. It didn't help, but it didn't hurt, either. And I was tried on it on three separate times in my life.

I had high hopes for Lithium, which they say is the Gold Standard (for BP I.) I couldn't tolerate it. I would have needed to be on IV fluids, if I kept taking it, even at a rather low dose.

Other things that didn't do anything for me were: Risperdal, Paxil, Celexa, and Zoloft.

A little ritalin can be extremely helpful to me, if I have somewhere to go in the morning. Otherwise, it just creates anxiety, or accelerated thinking that is purposeless.
