To date:
Lorazepam
Bupropion
Venlafaxine
Lamotrigine
Respiridone
Zolpidem
All of these have been since March 012 and are now discontinued

Currently on
Lithium
Clonazepam
Quetiapine

None of the meds have helped. Ist psych dx bipolar depression anxiety.
Got a second opinion cuz meds were not helping. Dx depression anxiety did not see bipolar. These meds made me feel worse. Made me crave alcohol and think really dark thoughts. Second doc is weaning me off lithium. ANY thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated.

It takes a long time sometimes to get the combo correct, but hang in there. I'm still working on mine and have been every month for 9 months so I feel ya. It's not fun to be a lab rat but its worth it I think. I'm on:
Risperdone
Lamictal
Lithium
