Hello my distinguished fellow bipolar sufferers.

I have a curse or a blessing. Your choice.
My Pdoc shrinkette is kind of tired fighting my suggestions and prescribes whatever I want. Her last choice was lithium. My last choice, Abilify.

She mentioned several names and Abilify rang a bell in my head. Maybe because the "a body in movement....blah blah blah" TV ad.
My main problem (like I'm alone with this) is depression ,and even if it's working(less than lithium) I wonder if I should be on it.

I'm taking Wellbutrin 300 XR and Maybe is not as effective as it should be because of the Abilify. There is another problem: Expense. 100 buck a month
compared to peanuts for the lithium. I'm splitting a 20mg pill in 1/4s. Even if I lose one 1/4 to dust, I have 3 doses of 5mg for the price of one. But still expensive. And is generic. I think they make their own generic.

I basically feel good. But I little more pep wouldn't hurt. I'm taking 5mg Adderall for now, but once they're gone, she won't refill it.
I found out that two Vistarils are too much to wake up semi fresh. So I'm taking one. With 12.5mg of Xanax for good measure.

I think this rambling comes from the fact that it's been a while since I don't write as often as before, and my head can be distracted. My apologies.
Case and point: is Abilify good or bad for me. Is there something better I'm missing?. Thank you for reading.

P.S. I don't wish to go back on lithium.
