First my doc waited years before introducing stims. First he tried Nu and Provigil which I think are useless. I think my therapist talked to him about my desire to get back on stims and a social worker that I did group with faxed him a copy of a report that I had slowed thought processes. I was also sleeping all day, etc.
Gotta tell you Alexei, I've been cycled through so many meds that I'm not sure what's doing what. When I'm on Lamictal, Lithium and others, I'm not sure. My guess is that it's helping some. It and Zyprexa before it have added #'s.
Most days I do OK. But as I told my doc, three weeks ago I had two days of 'I can't take it anymore suicidal ideation.' I think that had more to do with bipolar than medication failure.
If I was asked I would say talk to your doc about Seroquel.
My life circumstances suck and 99 days out of 100 I think I'm OK. I know that's a convoluted answer but it's the best I can do.
Bottom line. Though things aren't perfect and for a few exceptions, I haven't been in a seriously deep depression in a long time.Life is good.
