limitcal (for bipolar depression): currently on, calms me down but still severely depressed
celexa now-does help me concentrate but I'm extremely depressed
I do like that I'm calmer and can concentrate but non of the drugs seem to touch the depression. I see a therapist and am going to look into alternative therapies like reiki, guided mediation ect.
I hope you find what works for you, its a hard battle, but I'm routing for. It's hard going through so many meds, it sounds like you've been through way more than me, and having to deal with the side effects and than they don't even work and you've got to start again with another one.
You are so strong for hanging in there. I really hope you start feeling better.

Thank you. My doctor decided to put me on Adderall twice a day to give a boost to my cymbalta in combination with lamictal. I have no idea how this will work out. I just drove to 3 different pharmacies trying to get the script filled because it is such a controlled substance they only give the pharmacies a limited amount of it. My doctor said if it is going to work it should work pretty quickly so I guess I will know in a few days. I know this medication is basically speed and I will probably be buzzing around like crazy but I just need it to take the depression away. I have also thought about reiki. I have tried accupunture which helped for anxiety but not depression. I am having such a hard time kicking this stubborn depression. Thanks for your support!
