I really feel for you, because just one episode of ACUTE dyskinesia scared me greatly. Initially I thought it was tardive.

I also felt that I would not take another antipsychotic, but eventually it turned out to be an impossible task. So I am on Seroquel and it allows me to sleep well, which for me is a priceless beneficial effect. My med combo is in flux, but I know that Seroquel for sleep is probably a lifelong med for me, unless they invent something better.

Your signature with meds leaves me speechless. Any bipolar person who is taking a very, very high dose of activating Lamictal, of Wellbutrin - an AD likely to cause mania, and Trazodone, which is still an AD even though you are taking a soporific dose, would have manic symptoms.

Why are you taking so many activating medicines?

Lamictal 450 mg
Wellbutrin 150 mg
Klonopin 2 mg
Trazodone 100 mg
