Abilify is used for my psychotic symptoms as well as for an anti-manic. Since Abilify isn't always a strong enough anti-psychotic for me, I also take Haldol PRN (the potential long term side effects of this are too severe to take daily). I take both Lamictal (mostly for the depressive side) and Lithium (mostly for the manic side) as mood stabilizers. I take Vyvanse as a stimulant, to give me completely necessary energy (my energy could be lacking from too many meds?! ). I take Zoloft as an anti-depressant and, I take Klonapin both daily and PRN for anxiety. I take a total of 6 meds every day and 1 prn. I asked my pdoc what we will do if the Zoloft doesn't work and he said he will add Welbutrin. That will make a grand total of 8 (and I'm fairly certain it will go to that unless he is open to explore--a friend suggested an MAOI). I still spend the vast majority of my time very unwell. It is quite ridiculous. I am unsure of the difference in the amounts of prescriptions between the 2 countries. Sometimes though, I just think my pdoc over prescribes. I have a second opinion lined up for Sept.
