Hi there,

I have Cyclothymia / Bipolar disorder. I was wondering if the medications I am on is the best type for my condition?

I am on;

Sertaline (Zoloft) once in the morning - 100mg
Depakote (Sodium Valoprate) Once three times a day - 250mg (750mg daily)
Quetiapine (Seroquel) 100mg (Twice a day)
Quetiapine (Seroquel) 25mg (When needed)

The Psychotic symptoms are doing better, not hearing things, not seeing so much any more. The impulsive behaviour such as shouting, trying to escape from moving cars, shouting at people in public. However my only problem still anger. I mean serious anger, to the point I can destroy the place if not medicated. I think I need something else which stops the rage episodes.

Ideas?

Unfortunately there isn't any way to know what the magic combination will be for an individual. It's whatever works for you that is the thing you need. It sounds like this is working pretty well and if you are still having trouble with rage talk to your pdoc. It's possible that tweaking what you are on is all that it takes; you may not need another med, just a bit more of something.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
