I've failed all the usual antidepressants and got the awful side effect from Lamictal (that would have been a great drug for me to be on).
Doc put me on Lith for depression, but above 450mg I lose my hair and it started causing depression instead of fixing it.
So doc said Wellbutrin for depression, but it has always caused mania.
Actually, 600mg Trileptal makes me sleep all day and causes depression.
I've experienced depression from all the anti-manic drugs.
Adderall doesn't seem as strong ad Wellbutrin to me (weird).
Abilify made me eat like a horse and gain weight, no luck there.
Not sure what the solution is.
I wasn't sure if using low dose Adderall was ok and also if 4mg of Klonopin is ok. Klonopin seems to work faster and better as anti-manic and doesn't cause depression.
Not sure if the low dose Lith is helping or not? Maybe that combined with low dose Trileptal is ok?
