Hi! My name is Lindsay and I have just been diagnosed with Bipolar Depression. My psychiatrist still has not told me which one I have, we are still in the process of figuring that out, but my life has been a total rollercoaster ride. I am just getting out of a depression which was bad. I have a toddler and it is hard to be around him when my moods fluctuate so much. I am also in full-time school and it hasn't been easy passing my classes while being on all of these medications and having to change them all of the time. I am currently on generic Lamictal 150 mgs, Klonopin 1.5 mgs, and Zyprexa 10 mgs. I am also wondering what people's experiences were like on these meds and if they helped them with the depression phase of bipolar. I feel like the Zyprexa is lifting me out of it quickly, but I have been reading about weight gain!!! I do not need to gain anymore weight. My psychiatrist gave me a few options while I was there the last time and she recommended me to go on lithium and I told her absolutely not because of the weight gain with that. I am switching psychiatrists in January due to insurance changes so we will see what cocktail my new doc prescribes. Right now though I am feeling pretty good. Getting better. I hope it lasts, because I do not want to be depressed again!!!
