I completely understand how you feel about meds making you be not yourself. I battle that all the time. I feel angry about it and I feel damn cheated.

You're not on many meds, actually. I'm wondering if your husband may be correct, that a different pdoc could be more helpful. Have you ever been on a mood stabilizer, like Lamictal?

I was taken off of lamictal because of my history of non compliance. I'm on abilify injection 1x a month, thoizine 100mg, Prozac 40mg, and hydroxyzine. I've been on most mood stabilizers except lithium. But with a clear DX finally it's different than just throwing stuff and see what works. I only have had this DX for about 2 years.
