Hey everybody,

I'm not new to online support groups. But from what i've seen so far, this seems the best one.

I'm diagnosed with mood disorder not otherwise specified with psychotic features and OCD. My cocktail of diagnoses is almost as complicated as my cocktail of meds. I'm on the following cocktail:

Geodon 160 mg
Lamictal 400 mg
Luvox 100 mg
Trazadone 50 mg
Buspar 15 mg
Neurontin 900 2 daily
Trilafon 8mg

I know it's a bunch of meds, and i've been on this cocktail for 2 years.

I've been an psychiatric inpatient 10 times in the past 10 years. My latest hospitalization was in February, where i was admitted with a mixed episode. I've looked up my illness these past couple of days and it seems i have 'agitated depression'.

I usually don't need to go online for support groups, as a medication adjustment will do the trick as will psychotherapy.

My question is as follows: is one of my meds causing the agitation? Or will i have to deal with mixed episodes in the future?

Thank you for your time and i'll see you all around.
