I liked Depakote sprinkles in capsules - can't remember dose.
Lithium was good, but caused thyroid nodule - scary, doc made me stop.
Loved 2.5mg Zyprexa - doc doesn't like due to weight gain.
Lamictal was ok, never gave stabilization - just AD effects. Higher dose caused mouth blisters & canker sores.
Right now I'm on 600mg of Trileptal. Even at 300mg it effects my vision, but it's good even at 300mg. Trileptal will calm me down very quickly.
I just don't understand why Adderall (and poor man's sub - caffeine), would cause such mood instability. Adderall tends to do it more so. I guess that's a clear indication of needing more stabilization before Adderall.
The diff today with 80mg Geodon on board is a world of difference. Less irritability. Adderall would help in a weird way with irritability. I tend to feel less tired and more focused, thus less irritable. Fine line.
I do have a lot of anxiety in general, you're right. I'd just like to be stable and not go off track with too much coffee or a tiny dose of Adderall.
