They used to do that to me back in the 80’s and 90’s they’d just add and add. I got fed up and quit all of it. Then they wised up and learned that the vast majority of bipolars aren’t to be on AD. But when I went back at the urging of of T the first thing they did was put me on a AD which threw me into a mixed episode then they wanted to throw the kitchen sink at me and I walked away again. Then I had a bad episode and went to ER psych and told the pdoc no ADs. He agreed wholeheartedly and gave me a lower dose AP and lamictal. Since then the AP has been at a medium dose and all I take.
