when to say....when?
I'm down to 2. I'm not saying that to sound smug or anything. I'm genuinely surprised that I've been making a go of things on 2. They're heavy-hitters. 30mgs/Abilify and 1200mgs/Trileptal. I was feeling on edge, so I dropped my wellbutrin (400mgs) and then I dropped my low dose (100mgs) lamictal.
I didn't notice a huge difference at first, but now...well, predictably, my emotions are more intense. On the other hand, I'm not in a bona fide "episode," nor do I feel myself moving towards one. My concentration is better. Even though Trileptal is more of an anti-hypomanic, anti-agitation drug and 30mgs/Abilify is definitely full on antipsychotic, anti-manic, my mood is...good. Maybe on the cheery-er end of things, even.
So...in your life...when do say "OK. I'm on enough, I'll just deal with what remains" OR "I need more" ?
My problems are apparently currently diagnosed in the grey areas between bipolar and schizoaffective, manic type (current providers). The former people swear up and down its Schizophrenia w/ mood problems. Anyway, I figure either way, the tranquilizer is going to be the key player.
