How long to get your meds right with bipolar II ?

Posted by holymama on June 19, 2004, at 6:32:23

I am curious how long bipolar IIs typically go through the torturous process of trying out different medications before getting the 'right' cocktail?

I've been at it for exactly a year now, in the hospital once. I'm just feeling good for the last 5 days...and hoping this could be it!!

Right now I'm at:

12.5 mg lexapro
150 mg wellbutrin
300 mg lithium

It was an extra 2.5 mg lexapro (1/4 of a pill) that bumped me up from frustratingly depressed to feeling good. 1/4 pill!!
