SingDanceRunLife & Hashi/bipolar mom - do you take other medications instead of Lithium then?
I've been on several since my dx this past June. I was on Lithium as mentioned, then Depakote. I didn't have any side affects from Depakote, it just didn't work. We then tried Latuda about a month ago and I had HORRIBLE Akethisia! I thought my husband was going to have to check me in somewhere! I've been on Lamictal throughout all of this for about 8 years. I love Lamictal but I'm concerned it might not be working for me anymore. I'm now on Gabapentin but I've only been on it two weeks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I have a thread going right now about it. Below (my signature) has my cocktail that I currently am taking.
