Right at the time when I needed some stability. These meds plus the Abilify and Effexor and Remeron. I know it is a lot of meds, but it is the combo that works for me. I mean, that's the best. If it works, it works. So I'm not really too happy with my pdoc for lowering them, but I can tell him as much.

But you can speak your mind, right? Because, if you cannot, you really, really need a new doctor. My pdoc is a toal genius in my opinion, but he always begins every potential med change by giving a lengthy explanation of his thinking. Then he stops and always, always says: :"But, does this sound at all interesting to you? Do you think you might want to try something like this?" Or words to that effect.
He cares deeply what I think, even though all I really know a lot about is antidepressants. I know little about APs and mood stabilizers. Very little.
Gotta gotta gotta tell your truth , Asparagae. It is the only way. Hugs!!!!!!!
