Hi Everyone!
I visit this site off and on and I have recently been hospitalized because of my depression so I thought it would be good to get feedback on some of the meds that I am on.

My doctor thinks I am bipolar even though I have really only ever had one manic episode. I am currently taking abilify, lamictal, lithium, and tapering off of effexor xr. I have only been taking abilify for a week and I can tell that I do feel better. My concentration on work is very improved.

Of course, I am concerned about weight gain from any meds...but for now I'm just glad something is working.
