I can't remember why he didn't want to do Lamictal with me. There was some reason, because we discussed it. I tend to have quite a lot of trouble with depression, more than mania (though my mania is more irritability than anything else) and he kept me on Wellbutrin but increased it when my dx was changed from unipolar depression to bipolar. I was on Abilify, but I found that it, like Geodon, it worked well for a hot minute but made me incredibly anxious in the long run. Lexapro was just added about a month and a half ago.

Basically, my main issues are deep depression and overwhelming anxiety. The irritability comes and goes and is only a tertiary issue at this point. But when I mess with the status quo it really comes to the forefront. Like now. I kind of wish I had something to calm me down, but I don't like how many meds I'm on already; I'm not keen on adding more to the mix.
