I am a Bi Polar type 1, ADD, Alcoholic.
I am currently on: Lithium Benz, Trileptol, Celexa, Abilify, Ativan, Requip, and Ambien.My Psychiatrist is at a loss, we have tried a lot of other medications whose names I forget but nothing has helped the Mania. I twitch so much I have blisters on my feet, I hallucinate visually and audibly, and get very aggressive.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Worry if I double post, I am not sure how to use the site yet.
Thanks for the replies; I am reading them all carefully.I will do some research on Lyme. Would it cause manic swings? I do go from severely depressed to severely manic in about 6 month swings with little bumps in-between.
I did try dropping the Lithium which didnt help, but I increased Abilify which helped. For some reason my pdoc didnt like the increased dosage of Abilify.
I eat pretty healthy as we have a CSA in our back yard, cook most of our meals (My wife wont buy a Microwave) but do eat out Sushi a lot.
This has been an ongoing issue for a few years; it started in my teens, went away in my twenties, and came back in my thirties.
