New to the posting things so... here goes!
I'm a little excited for tomorrow because it will be the first time since 2003 that i will see a psych to ask to be put back on meds. it's weird because i never thought i would want to be back on meds but i see how my life has disintegrated into a life of debt, loss love, and just major screw-ups in just 4 years off meds. I have been on various meds but since I was only diagnosed as bipolar in 2003, my previous diagnosis of depression gave me the great medication of: paxil, wellbutrin, and celexa. none of those worked very well for me because of the side effects that came along with it but mostly because i was in denial of my depression. then i was told i was bipolar and first given lithobid then given depakote. i really didn't feel a change in my behavior so i stopped taking the meds and stopped going to see the psych.
now at 30, i want to take a more active role in how i live my life an decided to get back on the meds. right now i'm in the midst of a mixed episode so i have tons of energy to look up potential meds while not having the energy to get out of bed....how convenient but during my research i've come across a combo of Cymbalta and Lamictal.
my question is, does any one have a comment on that combo?
