Dang blast and yuck! I am so sick of this! I'll feel better for a few weeks, just to get my hopes up and then the crash inevitably happens. The real kicker is that I'm getting depressed and I'm getting fatter and fatter even though I'm not doing anything different. I'm a dancer and yoga instructor, for Pete's sake, but I feel like the hippo of Fantasia. Lately I blob around, constantly bump into things, drop things. I'm tired, anxious, super depressed and hate life. Here's my brew:
45 mg. Remeron
300 mg. Lithium
1.5 mg. Klonopin
10 mg Ambien
2 grains dessicated thyroid
estraderm patch
micronized progesterone
gobs of vitamins.The lithium has extended the normal poop out cycle of ADs but the main issue right now is the weight gain and apathy. I can't do anything too stimulating since it can push me over the edge into hypomania. I have a call to my pdoc about adding Topamax to this mix for the weight problem, but am reading about the lamictal+topamax synergy from others of you. Does anyone have any suggestions? I Need a New Drug!!! - Barbara
