I'm on 6, but I have MAJOR insomnia & anxiety & had some delusional thinking so have to keep that at bay. Actually, feel "normal" but my husband cringes when he sees all the pill bottles, esp. since I also take meds for low thyroid, high blood pressure & cholesterol, low potassium--geeze, I'd have to look at my list to remember them all. Plus monthly B-12 shot for pernicious anemia.

Had lots of suicide attempts so the first goal was basically "keep her alive"--last sucide attempt 2 years ago--pretty good, I guess. Had to adjust meds after that. Also, do intensive indiv. therapy & DBT. Fun, fun, fun!! Mother was bipolar & did successfully kill herself so not to be taken lightly, I guess.
