Hey all. I have a few questions about bipolar meds. I've been on everything under the sun and nothing really works. I have a very high metabolism for the medications and they constantly need to be adjusted. Do any of you take as many or as high a dosage as what I am laying out for you? Just curious. Please let me know. I have been on over fifty different meds and hundreds of combinations so if you know of something new or old that might work, I am taking suggestions. Thanks. Happy Holidays.
500 mg Depakote = 2 AM 3 PM = 2500 mg total 200 mg Zoloft 300 mg Seroquel = 3 PM = 900 mg total 0.3 mg clonidine 4 mg Risperdal 125 mcg Levothiroxine (thyroid) 50 mg Vistaril 1 mg Ativan 200 mg Celebrex (migraines)

How is Celebrex supposed to work for migraines? Is it preventive or abortive?

How do you guys get used to the Seroquel? I have 150mg XR at night and if I take it, I don't remember anything from the next day and I sleep all day. Even a third of a pill makes me like a zombie. Cannot do it since I have 3 kids, so cannot afford to be total useless all day.

If meds aren't working could you try non medical things in addition like therapy, journaling, sleep schedules and exercise.

And how's your objective living situation? If it's bad... then working on solving that first is in order. Same goes for unreasolved traumas.
