Going to pdoc this morning to try again to get mixed state annihalated. Geodon not helping due to rapid heart rate and anxiety. The doc will ask me what has worked in the past and I've been on just about everything but I'm going to try again. In my research I have found Depakote and Tegretol are mood stabilizers that help with mania/mixed state. Also, in the anti-psychotic family; Zyprexa and Seroquel. Looks like I'm going to gain weight and lose hair with these meds but I'm so unstable I had the guy from Crises Int. come over and do an assessment yesterday. But I chose to stay out of the hospital bc I knew I had another chance with the right combo with doc this am. I'm very frustrated and ready to give up. The mixed state is ruining my life. I have had to cance 5 social and therapy engagements so far. Does anyone else have a med combo for mixed state/rapid cycling...mostly manic that works?

The onlt thing I've taken that works to cut the mixed mania is Seroquel. But it makes want to eat like crazy. Is there a med such as Topamax, Naltroxen, Metformin that would work in tandem with either Seroquel or Zyprexa to counter attack wt. gain.
of couse I'll ask pdoc today but I'm more interested in the experiences of others. it's so awful there isn't an anti mixed/manic drug without terrible side effects. |

Clozapine. An increase of Klonapin to 2.5 MG. Haldol if I am doing very poorly. Sometimes none of that works though. I also try to spend a little time meditating and deep breathing. If I am too wound up and panicked, I use mindfulness which sometimes works to bring me back to reality!
