i think i'm coming down off the ride already. less energy today, kinda tired in fact but not bad. was able to get 6 hours sleep last night.
my doc once mentioned lithium...to be honest, that scares me. not sure why. i think because i had a girlfriend on it years ago. she gained lots of weight...and it ended up not working for her 'in the end'. maybe that's why i'm hesistant, i know logically all drugs react different in different people but because that one hits so close to home, and i have lingering 'issues' with her and her death anyway so that complicates even more.
as for Trileptal, been there...didn't work. either it didn't work at all or it was increasing my rapid cycling (which i tend to think it was doing).
Lamictal is another one i haven't tried. but to be honest, the mood stabilizer i've been on haven't seemed to help me that much. it seems to increase cycling...but i hadn't heard (what you mentioned) that it seems to halt rapid cycling before. i'm glad you mention that.***********
But i think i mentioned above that i'm currently trying to conceive so i don't want to add more meds right now. (i think thats been part of the reason i've wanted to get preganant even though i had a tough time of it last time. physically terrible but emotionally...NEVER BETTER).i am really leaning now towards Abilify. i like that you mentioned that its a DSS. i feel that's exactly what i need.
and i Just heard about asenapine and even mentioned to my pdoc that as soon as it becomes available i'm willing to be a first timer trying it as it looked promising to my needs.Thanks for the Great info.
Good to hear from you.ps, i still use your site regularly! can't thank you enough for that place...
