They found the right cocktail to get me stable. If you are taking meds, and it's been more than six weeks, and you're still having problems then it's time to call your pdoc. I usually notice a change fairly quickly, and then I might need dose increases as my body adjusts, but everyone is different.

I see my psychiatrist about every 4 weeks at the moment, not sure if/when that may change, considering how new all of this is to me. I think I was just sad when he and I last met that I really didn't let anything he was saying sink in, even though I knew the possibility of my being diagnosed was higher than average because of family history. You asked about meds...yes, I am currently taking 1-2 .5mg Xanax every night, 3mg Vraylar 1x/day, 450mg Forfivo 1x/day (similar to Wellbutrin), 10mg Adderall 2x/day (morning and afternoon).
