Hi,
First of all I don't think my psychiatrist actually listens to me I am looking for a new one in my network that is pretty useless. Here it is I have been on meds and in therapy for 12 years. I started on paxil which worked well went off it for a year and spiraled downward. Tried alot of other anti depressants didn't help. Diagnosed with GAD,. Major Depression and ADD. Put on effexor and adderall. I was in heaven felt great, alot of energy etc. Was told that this was hypomania and was BP II. Went on lithium 1200 mgs stead for 6 months, trileptal 900 mgs. Lithium made me like a zombie went down to 900 mgs with trileptal. Felt much better on lower dose of lithium but not sure it was doing anything. Am now titrating up on lamictal. Personally I don't think a mood stabilizer is for me. Depression, anxiety, rumination, obsessive thoughts, unable to organize thoughts, agitated, irritable, jump at people, angry and unreasonable, analyze everything.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
