I was trying to give myself 2 days a week where I just stay home and relax but somehow I keep ending up with an appointment every single day of the week every week...

I've called my nurse/pdoc even though I was there yesterday.. they knew how depressed I am but didn't do anything except switch my abilify to zyprexa because the zyprexa works better for me.. they did nothing for depression, just said to wait it out until next week... I don't know if I can do that, I feel so awful.
I just started Modafinil. I am bipolar 2. on wellbutrin and lamictal Modafinil has lifted the black cloud by giving me energy and reducing the dark thoughts.
I agree with another post here...make sure you are taking that Lamictal to avoid any mania it might trigger...it didn't me and I have had Paxil induced mania b4. IMO you might want to simplify your cocktail. lotta drugs there...
Wellbutrin is good...Lamictal is great.....Modafinil is looking positive for me so far...only been a couple weeks......best of luck to you
