Thanks for the helpful responses. I’m going to leave a voicemail with my pdoc so she will get it when she gets to the office on Monday. To answer your question about the dose, I was on 25mg of Zoloft and was taking the chewable tablet of Lamictal (only 5mg) - I know that’s like a baby dose, please don’t laugh. Zoloft alone makes me manic and Lamictal alone makes me lethargic, unmotivated, and anti social. Never could get the two together to work right after trying a few combinations. I’m hoping I can find a mood stabilizer or some other non anti depressant in liquid form that maybe I can tolerate better since I’m a poor metabolizer. I thought about going off all meds and that maybe the mania was anti depressant induced, but I can remember times where I experienced mild mania before I took meds. My mood would sometimes shift into a giddy state, and other times I would feel really low. But, I usually had decent control over my impulses and never did anything crazy, so that’s why I never thought about myself being bipolar. But, it could just be bipolar II or III as my pdoc suggested (she isn’t quite sure either). The Zoloft helped with depression and OCD immensely, but I felt like I was in a constant hypomanic stage.
