They've run the gamut on my diagnosis. It started out as BP type I, and I was put on Abilify. After that my diagnosis was changed a dozens of times. They've also pumped me full of almost a hundred different drugs; I've been on Serequil, Zoloft, Sertraline, Risperidone, Haloperidol, Lithium (no longer able to take that one; Prolonged QT Intervals on ECG), Geodon (ECG again), Wellbutrin, Prozac, just to name a few. 14 psychiatric hospitalizations over the course of 3 years seem to make the doctors creative with meds [emoji57]

Point is, we've got it down to ADD, Bipolar II, PTSD and General Anxiety Disorder (though the anxiety is definitely more of a social anxiety thing more than anything else). I've already tried a lot of the "standard" meds for Bipolar Disorder when they thought I was type I, with no results (or negative results). In terms of mood, the Topamax/Lamictal combo has been most effective; it's just the cognitive impairment that's the issue.
