Hi sdjeff:
>>> I was wondering, if you don't mind me asking, what is your dx and coctail and how are you doing? <<<<--- My dx is Bipolar II with ultra rapid cycler that means, ... cycling several times a day, even within two to three hours' period that truly makes me exhausted mentally and emotionally. On top of Bp, this annoying baggage is VERY HARD for most of pdocs. to deal with. However, with one of the best pdocs. in this region(I live a big city, btw, ... then there are a ton of good/competent docs. to choose from, ... but like anything else, it's TOUGH to bump into one with whom you are related, ... with some chemistry, ... )
In regard to my med. combo. is 5 mg. Zyprexa/before the bed, 900 mg. Lithium(capsule form, .... divided by three, from morning to bedtime, 300 mg. each.), Serzone(from 300 mg. to 450 mg. according to my 'anxiety' level) and Wellburtrin SR(was 300 mg., but now cutting back to just 100 mg./with breakfast). Since my moods has been improving steadily, ... I've been thinking about more decreased dosage both Serzone without Wellburtrin SR. However, I have NO idea what my pdoc. says about my self-med. regimen at next appt., before the summer.Once before I almost gave up those psycho.med., because of 'ineffectiveness' or simply 'my own laziness' to search for, ... but I finally feel back to 'normal/semi-human being' to get a job, some socinal life and long road trip to visit my siblings. Then, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel.
