So this is the 3rd week I've been on meds and they are as follows:
wellbutrin 150mg
lamictal 25mg
and abilify 5mg

well at first it didn't do much of course, but now... my episodes are like a teeny tiny bit less severe, like I'm a little less desperately suicidal and my mania (specifically my impulse) is easier to control but like.... I'm used to my manic episodes lasting weeks and my depressive episodes lasting months and all of a sudden I am having on average 2 or 3 of each a DAY and it is really wearing on me like whaaat is happening? lol

Is this normal for this stage in medicating? Do I need to make an earlier appointment with my doctor to talk about it? My next appointment is in 3 more weeks.

FWIW I think you need your meds adjusted. See a pdoc as soon as you can. You do not need to suffer in this way.

Medicine can do that to you -- until you tweak it and find the right combos, it'll be like that. I agree with Tucson here. Try to see a pdoc soon!
