Hey guys!

I don't know if any of you have been following me, but I'm pretty sure I've been complaining on and off on this forum quite a bit about my anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and mixed states.

I just started Abilify 2 weeks ago, and I'm feeling significantly better. I'm taking a lot less Xanax PRN. My obsessive thoughts are still there, but not severe like they were. My mind feels more clear and I haven't had my "noisy thoughts" that I was having. I see my pdoc for a follow-up on the 16th, and I'll let him know all my current symptoms in case he wants me on a higher dose.

How are YOU??? :group hug:

Diagnoses: Bipolar 2, OCD
Meds: Lithium, Trileptal, Latuda, Abilify, Xanax XR, Xanax PRN

I started celexa a few months ago and boy i love it. it is just starting to work and i've never felt better before in my life. i think the voices are not too bad anymore. I did do some research on it, the side affects of trying to get off of it were pretty bad. i don't see going off of it right now although, i'll be a lifer on it, but don't care because i'm already on 9 meds anyway.
