Hmm. Strange haha! And right now I'm on 600mg Lithium, 50mg Seroquel & 50mg Pristiq. They're all for my bipolar disorder; Pristiq was also prescribed back when they thought I had unipolar depression. Neither Seroquel nor Pristiq really did anything for me but give me side effects, I felt hopeless in regards to medications until they put me on Lithium. Lithium is perfect for me, I feel great now.
I have GAD and OCD as well but for some reason none of my psychiatrists have really focused on that in regards to medications. I'm not sure how it would sound if I asked to be put on anxiety meds on top of my 3 bipolar meds. So as of right now I'm trying my best to manage it using coping skills and what not. I seem to be doing pretty well with my GAD but not so much with my OCD.
