I'm hoping he can start tapering me off the thorazine now that I'm okay on the abilify. I've kind of gone the other direction now and am a bit depressed. I just want to be on a simplified med combo. Not like 5-6 meds like I used to be on. My goal is to just be on the trileptal and abilify since those two help me the most. Right now I'm just on three meds and one PRN which I hardly take the PRN. So my main meds are abilify, thorazine and trileptal.

So yeah that's the goal. Just get off the thorazine. Then I'll just be on Trileptal 1500mg , Abilify 20mg, and propranolol PRN 10mg
I'm glad your mania is under control but sorry now you have some depression. Sometimes it's like you just can't win.

I have a prescription for Trileptal too but was prescribed it by my neurologist to help with peripheral neuropathy. It hasn't really helped the neuropathy, so I just stopped taking it. I didn't realize it is used to treat bipolar as well.
