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.

I've been wanting to try lithium for the longest time. Hopefully my p-doc will listen this time. My lamictal helps but not enough. I wonder if lithium could possibly help with with social anxiety
