I feel I am doing okay with my most recent cocktail now that my Seroquel was upped. Before that, I did not feel Lamictal was doing enough to keep mania or hypomania in check, but with a higher dose of Seroquel, now I can see that they both work pretty well together for me.

I still get depressed, but I'm managing. I figure no combination is going to be perfect. There tends to be costs and benefits, whether it's with side effects or symptom management abilities. I try to stay realistic about the medication reducing symptoms rather than completely eliminating them. Klonopin works well as a PRN for anxiety for me too. I'm also glad that I don't need constant bloodwork with this cocktail, and the side effects are tolerable for me right now.
