My wife was taking 1800 mg of Neuronton & 10 mg of Paxil a day for her bipolar situation and it worked fairly well 'til she hit a major manic period (caused by reaction to antibiotics?) and was hospitalized. There, they've added 1000 mg of depakote and 900 mg of seroquel. She no longer seems manic most of the time.
But, every other day, I see the top edge of her hypomania, the portion where she knows almost everything, has no problem with divorce because she has so many alternative places to go, where I am the cause of all ills, and knows how much quicker and clearer she thnks than anyone around her, especially me.
Shouldn't all those meds have stopped that kind of thought and knocked the top edge off? After 3 weeks of this condition, shouldn't she be heading toward her normal lows?
Any thoughts/direction is appreciated.
