I've been rolling along for about 6 months now, no severe highs and lows. Lo and behold about 3 weeks ago I went into mania on a vacation, and forgot to take my morning meds for 3 or 4 days (10mg lexapro and 75mg seroquel) mania escalated and then last Friday I went spiraling into a depression that I cannot deal with. I have an appt with Tdoc tomorrow and Pdoc on Friday. I was in hospital in Feb/March for 4 weeks to find and tweak a med combo which eventually ended up as : 10mg Lexapro & 75mg Seroquel in the a.m. and 200mg Lamictal & 300mg Seroquel in the p.m. I am now not taking the prescribed dose of Seroquel as i am tired of feeling like a zombie in the a.m. This is what I do, I fu*&*ck with my meds and think I am a doctor. However, I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I want to get off all meds and start over. I guess I just needed a place to vent, no gifts please.

I am feelin ya...I am currently taking what I want of my meds....I have decided that right now all i need is the neurotin and lamactil....I know that I prob should be taking all the rest but why bother
It isn't like these meds are gonna make that big of difference in the way I feel about myself or the world around me...they just might make me seem normal to everyone else...that is a big help! How do they know what normal is anyhow. I get tired of being a pharmacy experiement anyhow....I don't think that the docs really know what meds to use to treat bp..it is just a guessing game and we the afflicted have to decide which meds actually work and what side effects we are willing to live with....

10-4 Mydarlin
I feel like a guinnea (sp?) pig. I finally found a combo that half works and I am to the point of giving up. It is just so frustrating.:? thanks for listening |

After 25 years of tweaking, adding, deleting, etc....meds, I am finally on the best regimine I have ever had. I hope you can find one with your Pdoc that works best for you. I know the Seroquel side effects stink, but sometimes they are better than what can happen without them, IMO.
Take gentle care, Dee
