Starting from the beginning
*- still used

Zoloft, 50 mg (for anxiety)
Lamictal 100 mg (for antidepressant triggered manic episode)
Risperdal 0.5 mg (in conjunction with Lamictal, for above mentioned)

Lexapro 10 mg (for depression)
*Lithium 250 mg [later increased to 800] (for antidepressant triggered manic episode)

Zyprexa 10 mg (for alone-standing manic episode)
Abilify 10 mg (for confirmed bipolar 1 disorder)
*Seroquel 100 mg [later increased to 200] (replacing Abilify)

*Ritalin LA {dosage still being adjusted} (for ADHD)

*Ambien 10 mg (for sleep)

I'm going to crazymeds.com now too...

I did notice that many people are prescribed or tried many of the same drugs.
That gave me a good feeling that at least my current Dr. seems to be knowledgeable with Bipolar drugs because I am new to Bipolar and wasn't sure about meds being given to me.

At 18 I started out on olanzapine for psychosis. It knocked me for six, put on weight, couldn't hold down a job

21 - Took an overdose, was fed up of feeling suffocated by me possessive ex, and depression clung to me all the time.
Put on quetiapine

24 - Cut down my meds on own cause couldn't get it out my head when my parents kept saying something was wrong with me. so I tried to prove ppl wrong. Big mistake. Quetiapine increased. Passed out many times at home, once on sunny day waiting for bus. But I persevered.

26 - Went awol. Found standing above dual carriageway on ledge.
Tried ripseridone - not strong enough, not enough sedative (begged to go back on quet, doc said it wasn't treating illness)
chlozopine -didn't agree with me, nearly died
aripiprazole - never worked
Respiridone again
ECT - Helped alleviate that stubborn fog of depression and melancholia
Back on Quetiapine and added anti - depressants
I added olanzapine at night myself and I feel ok
stopped taking daytime arapiprazole for mood as olanzapine has built up in my system.

I want to say that some anti-psychotics are very strong but sometimes you have to get used to them and its worth it

Prozac (which I stopped, it made me feel like I was on meth all the time)
Citalopram & Fluvoxamine (which I also stopped because they made me feel like I was on meth, kept me awake for 4-5 days at a time.
Seroquel (still take it but I've had the dose altered a few times
Lexapro (stopped taking it because it made me feel sick all the time)
Valium
Neulactil
Epilim (sodium valproate)
Chlorpromethazine (for sedation while I was hospitalised)
Latuda
Edit: Oxazepam
... I think that's all I've tried
