I am admittedly new to the whole bipolar "game",so to speak. But i am on 3 meds. Lamotrigine and lexapro and zolpidem for sleep. I also have taken zyprexa and ativan when manic.

When I have talked to My psychiatrist and asked why some people are on so many meds, she said sometimes they take meds to counteract the side effects of their other meds. Is that what is going on with you?

I personally would have a problem with so many meds. I have said it before. I think that seems like too many.

JMHO
