Hi everyone,
I have just started on meds for my bipolar 2 disorder and Ive only been put on a mood stabalizer (carbamazepine) so far, and i know that this helps with mostly my hypomanic symptoms. Im not sure what my psychiatrist has planned for me and the depression associated with my disorder.
So I was just curious about what other people are taking?

Have you ever been on lithium? Do you like lamictal? Any weight gain with lamictal? Love Wellbutrin!

I'm on 600mg of lithium & 5mg of Abilify per day. So afraid of the weight gain! Was on Wellbutrin and loved it! Not sure why new pdoc took me off; makes me mad!

Saphris, Trintellix, Ritalin, I can't say it's working too well for the depression right now.

I refuse to take Lithium if I can help it. So far I have seen no side effects on either of the meds.
