My pdoc keeps adding meds because he thinks that some meds are more effective when they interact with each other. I'm not so sure about that, but I'm giving that a shot because he may be right. Though, I only started taking meds in August after years of being in denial about BP.

I'm definitely not afraid of letting go, though. In fact, I want to get off Latuda after reading this: http://forums.psychcentral.com/psych...sychotics.html (Latuda also doesn't do anything for my depression when it's at a low dose. But when the dose is too high, I sleep all day. There's no happy medium.) I also want to get off Lexapro unless my pdoc is willing to increase my dosage again... because I feel 5mg is sort of pointless.

I'm willing to try new meds, but ideally I'd like to take as few as possible. If I could get away with only taking Lamictal (for example), then I would do that.
