>Are you able to work full time, make enough money to survive on your own, and manage your life well with this combo?
This combo is brand new with the addition of the Carbamazapine and Zonegran as of the beginning of the week, but previous I was functioning just fine on the lithium, luvox, geodon and vyvanse. It just never fails that about a month into treatment with an ssri I become manic. So we had to add the carbamazapine. The Zonegran is just for fun-see if it improves mood and helps my ocd.
I was working a job part time-I started back in July. I just quit to focus on school. So I guess you can say I'm pretty functional (school and work would be too much, I will admit).
>but I sometimes wish he'd dole out some poly-pharmaceutical suggestions, in a compassionate way.
What are you taking and what is your diagnosis?
>I have found it much easier to talk to people the last few weeks
Interesting you would first measure the success of your treatments by the way you interact with people.
>my sleep apnea sometimes makes it hard to know how much.
I have sleep apnea too.
>it is just the lady in the office who does the rTMS, I wasn't sure if she even did the treatment correctly.
That's scary. Is she trained?
>Anyway, sorry for babbling. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for interacting with me.
You aren't babbling and I'm doing well. Interacting with you is a pleasure. You are my friend.
