Mandy, one thing that bothers me is the Prozac. My doc refuses to give me Prozac, or most other similar AD's under any circumstances. From what I've researched, she's in good company. Prozac may increase cycling in BP, and also it has a very long half life, so if you get into trouble, it will take weeks to eliminate from your system. I've started on Lamictal, which seems tř be working as an AD, in addition to Lithium, Serzone and Neurontin. I guess this can take a long time sometimes as I have been working at this for over two years now and still don't fell right. I woundn't worry about taking too many meds, everyone seems to these days.
