@Blueberrybook I think it’s a combo of the Lamictal, the Thorazine being increased and the Zoloft being decreased.

Still on the trileptal and abilify. The trileptal is getting tapered off soon. The abilify is staying the same, 30mg.

As of now my meds are:

Zoloft 50 mg
Abilify 30 mg
Trileptal 1200 mg
Thorazine 400 mg
Lamictal 100 mg

I’m coming off the trileptal soon. Sine my mood is stable on my other meds now. Then eventually taper off the Thorazine. Ultimately the goal my psychiatrist and I have is for me to just be on 30 mg abilify, 100 mg lamictal and 50mg Zoloft. Plus my PRN klonopin which that one I rarely take.

Trileptal makes other meds less effective. So when the trileptal is lowered and eventually stopped it will automatically make my blood levels of Lamictal rise. Which is why it has to be done slowly. Plus coming off trileptal there’s the risk of seizures since it’s an antiepileptic drug so can’t be stopped suddenly.

Basically the abilify controls my psychosis and mania. The Lamictal is for the mood swings and the Zoloft for depression/anxiety. And the klonopin for panic attacks.

My bread came out even better this time!
