I can not take Ad's at all, they flip me into an ugly Mania.. I take Lamictal to help ward off depression ,my Pdoc called it the background drug for depression. Lithium, no side effects for me at all. I refuse to take any AP's for more than a couple days if I really REALLY need it. all my meds are weight neutral which is something I refuse to budge on. I am not a person that can honestly say " ill be ok being fat as long as I'm stable" that does not work with my ED issues.

I hope you find something that works for you. Be very clear with your Doctor about your personal "Do and Don't " list. If this new doctor isnt willing to understand you wants and needs then find another new one..

Good luck
