So I started seeing a new Doc, actually I changed facilities. And I feel so much better and wish I would have done it sooner. New doc has DX me w/BPD1, instead of 2, border line, social anxiety, general anxiety and major depression. Rx Prozac, Topamax and Zyprexa. Anyone familiar with any of those?
I know I sure feel great! I haven't felt this good in months.

I've got experience with Prozac. It was the best AD for me, everyone is different but I hope it helps you like it did me. Don't have any personal experience with the other meds you have started. What else are you taking? Or were taking?

Prozac made me manic. Allergic to Zyprexa. Topamax made me as dumb as a box of rocks.

Zyprexa is the glue that holds me together. I was a mess before I started taking it. The first time I was on it I gained 25 lbs in a few weeks, but it didn't happen that way the second time. (I did gain a few pounds over the next year but that was it.)

I was on prozac for years without a mood stabilizer, and it made my hypomania get out of control.

Prozac--I can't take SSRIs/SNRIs anymore, since they cause profuse sweating and migraines
Topamax--left me confused but otherwise no effect Zyprexa--I loved it, but I gained weight and ate like crazy Everybody's experience is different, though. Glad to hear it's working out for you. |
