Are you depressed right now?
If you find that your mood switches between mania and depression frequently, mood stabilizers are probably indicated. I would consider combining Lamictal (lamotrigine) + lithium. If you can't tolerate lithium, you can use Trileptal in its place. An antipsychotic is probably indicated as well. As C_E suggests, Abilify has a documented history of being effective and safe. From what I understand, the combination of Abilify + Lamictal works well for bipolar depression.
Have you ever tried lithium before? What was the result?

It is written above by Scott. The promotion of the drugs he is advocating could cause addiction, life-ruining conditions and death. This is all being promoted here by a psychiatrist allowing Scott to post advocating mind-altering addictive drugs without specifying the adverse consequences that could befall the readers that are decived to think that these drugs are safer than they really are. And worse, readers could think that there are no consequences at all by taking these drugs that Scott is advancing here as "medicines." They are not medicines because they do not treat a disease or cure. They cause disease and can increase depression and cause psychosis and brain damage and induce suicidal and homicidal thinking.
The FDA requires precautions to be posted along with promotions of drugs in media, including here. The issue is if the drugs are being advertised, and if Mr. Hsiung is being paid by the drug manufacturers. I do not think that is correct, as here the drugs are being promoted by a doctor as being medicines, which I think constitutes false advertising that could lead to your death. By Mr. Hsiung using third-parties, like Scott here, and that his rules are to be supportive, then a reasonable reader could think that Mr. Hsiung is himself promoting these drugs that kill thousands of people each month. And worse, Scott's promotion of these drugs could be a reckless disregard for the truth and Mr. Hsiung does not intervene to point that out to you. This could lead those without a shepherd of truth to be led astray by the advertising that could deceive you into thinking that these drugs are safer than they really are and be led to your death.
If you could take this advice I give you, like a brother, find out the whole truth, or does it all go through one ear and out the other?

Hi Joe.
I just thought I would mention that most people need to take 200 mg/day of Lamictal to see good results. Some people have to go up to 300 mg/day. I take 300 mg/day.
You still need something to address the mania. Lamictal by itself usually doesn't work for mania. You could try Abilify or possibly Reluxti. Reluxti is less apt to produce akathisia than Abilify. I am considering Reluxti for myself to address both depression and mania.

The shepherd of drugs is also the sheherd of death. Here, Scott is leading the poster to think of taking the promoted drugs by Scott. Will he follow Scott? And does Scott also include the horrific consequences that could befall the other poster by taking those dugs? You see, the shepherd of drugs is also the shepherd of death. For the poster is one pill away from sudden death and/or being caught on fire roasting alive in a burns unit where blindness could be a result. Scott doesn't tell the poster that. You see, the shepherd of drugs is also the shepherd of deceit. And the sheep are led astray to their deaths.
And is it any wonder that Scott is allowed to post to lead readers astray? I don't know how Mr. Hsiung gets away with it. I came here to help people and save lives. And this is what is supportive by Mr. Hsiung by Scott. I guess I'm just the biggest fool of all.

Hi, Phillipa.
> No further up at the top of Lake Norman. Moorsesville, Nc
?
Both you and Lou Pilder have your Babblemail activated. You could easily communicate your messages using this amenity.
Do you really think that your post here is conducive to the effective use of the Medication board? Without moderation, you can do anything you want, of course.
What do YOU want for the Psychobabble Medication board?
Perhaps you can use the Social board for social posts?
This being an administration issue, I posted a redirection to the Administration board if you would like to discuss this issue further.

Why are you changing the subject phillipa?
Haven't you been asking questions here and when you needed help?
I think you would feel very overlooked if someone did that to you.
I'm not mad or something but this is serious stuff we are talking about, why wont you help build up this place to the magic place it was just for some month ago?
You know, without psycho-babble, i might be dead today.
I'm serious about that and i told my psychologist about that to.You have been a big support, everyone here have been. Why are you giving up?
I feel sad. I don't want to write my journal anymore.

It is not conducive to the viability of Psycho-Babble to aid people in hijacking threads by perpetuating the hijacked subject line. You know this. To not change it is to help kill Psycho-Babble. Is that your goal? Do you care? You can help out by rewriting hijacked subject lines. I am sure that you can easily identify them. Keeping posts on-topic - or at least treatment oriented - is also important.

I think we all care more about the board and the health of the people who needs help and are in need, more than where bob and Lou is..
Peoples lives are more important than that.
Just my opinion, and i promise, it will be my last opinion about this thing and continue to write things that matter instead.
That is what i joined this board for, not this..And i've been helped a lot :D
