I feel you on the med issue. I take four now and I was on two for a couple of years, just needing an increase in lamictal every once in awhile. Unfortunately I hit the ceiling of lamictal for me and had an awful psychotic episode in April last year. Seroquel XR was added, and I have to take regular seroquel to sleep most nights, which disappoints me because I was able to sleep without it for about three months in summer/fall.

I just got off a trial of vraylar, unfortunately I cannot tolerate it. It was given me intense nausea and stomach pain. However I feel very stable right now, more stable than I have since mid October. I don’t know if it will continue after the vraylar fully leaves my system but a girl can hope!

Eventually I hope to reduce the meds again but based on how awful the breakdown was I am hesitant at the moment. Maybe in the summer when I do not work.
