I diagnosed with bipolar in May and still don't feel right. Some days all I can do is get up--I can;t get out of my house. I have been in a structured program but that is stopping because of insurance. I am so afraid of getting suicidal again. Here are my meds: Prozac 80mg/day (on this med at this dose for many years and I do not think it does anything since I am still depressed,Neurontin 800mg three times a day but dr. said to stop it since it does not seem to do anything. Trileptal 600mg twice a day and I guess it has stablized my mood but in the depressed zone constantly. I also take seroquel 100 mg at night for sleep. And, on my own, I take ambien 10-30 mg when I just cannot relax. Now dr. has added Wellbutrin starting at 100mg/day and increaseing to 150 mg/day. Plus I take cozaar for hupertension and levoxyl for hypothyroid. SO MANY MEDS---Why do I still have a death wish?? Can anyone comment on this med combo and what might be better? I hate this disease and feel I am being consumed by it
