Had my psychiatrist appt this morning. He ended up changing a few things. I was on buspirone for about 5 weeks but decided it wasn't doing much. And my mood has been really rough for weeks. I said I didn't think the lithium was really helping. He said I have been up and down the medication rung-which I have, I've tried so many meds. ADs have usually been a nightmare. Clomipramine was ok and it did help my OCD but we discontinued it to reduce mood cycling over a year ago. He said lithium was chosen because of its antisuicidal properties and I can't take depakote or other anticonvulsants because I get ECT Treatments.

So we axed the buspirone and he upped the lithium. Which sucks. My lithium acne is already worse than it has ever been. And I get druggy after breakfast everyday from it. I've been at a higher dose and it makes this stuff worse. So I am not really happy with this.
And he brought back the clomipramine. I was on 50mg 2 x a day and then 3 x a day for awhile originally. He prescribed just 25 mg once a day for now. So hopefully I don't get manicky on it like previously.

I am sorry to complain. I just hate going through the changeing of meds. And sleep- I hope the clomipramine doesn't keep me awake I have enough sleep trouble as it is.
And again, sorry but one last complaint- I really hope my dreams aren't messed up. I dread that so much.

I don't know what I'm looking for, advice or similar experiences. Really had to vent too

I hope the med changes help.
