I have been taking zoloft and Lamictal for almost 2 years now.
Beginning of December I got into a fight with my wife and walked out. I walked out on everything, wife, grandkids, work, and pets. I spent 4 days sleeping in a yurt at a camp site. It evolved a lot of binge drinking and laying there numb all day. While I was gone my wife did a lot of reading. She finally accepted that I was bipolar. I went to a psych, received an initial diagnosis, and a prescription for lithium. My wife has always been against taking medications. She thought once I was on lithium I would be stopping everything else. I currently take zoloft, Lamictal, lithium, and doc recently also added seroquel. Is it common to be on multiple medications to treat bipolar depression? |

Yea its pretty common, some people can take 4 or even 5 medications. The most I have been on was 4 so far. The thing is that each medication is usually good for treating specific things and they work together.

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