I'm on 1350 mg lithium, 1500 mg Depakote, 600 mg Seroquel, and 6 mg Risperdal. I had gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago so my doses need to be higher to reach therapeutic blood levels. I also take 10 mg of Celexa during prolonged depressive episodes. I have bipolar 1 disorder with psychotic features. Despite some long and intense hospitalizations, I have a great career and when I'm in "normal time". I do pretty well. Bye the way, I adore my psychiatrist of 18 years. He's the guy who's literally saved my life more times than I care to count. I owe him the fact that I have a future.
