People with BIPOLAR DISORDER pls??

Question

Would you mind listing me up the meds you use for your bipolarity pls??
will be glad if you do,thnx.

I'm off the meds for now..

I've used depakote and lithium b4 but this time I'm darn afraid of the weight gain..

Answer 1

Right now I'm on Lithium and Tranxene.

When I go into an episode (99% are manic) I take Risperdone, Depakote, Levomepromazine, Tripadal, and I also get shots each night to help me sleep.

When I have a depressive episode, they put me on an anti-depressant, and the next day I'm manic.


I've tried a bunch of other medications before settling on Lithium. Even Lithium didn't work the first time I was on it. But I've tried Depakote (still used when I have a manic episode), Tegretol, Zyprexa, Risperdal (again, still used when I have an episode), Seroquel, Lysanxia, and Tanxene (still on).

Answer 2

Lexapro, Depakote ER and Xanax (as needed)

have also take Klonopin, Prozac,and Trazadone none of which worked. Trazadone gave me the most vivid and life like dreams I've ever had... to the point where I couldn't tell if conversations or events were in my dreams or really happened (kinda scary)

Answer 3

Currently: Lithium and Klonopin

Previously: Neurontin, Topomax, Ativan, Seroquel, Trazadone, Lamictal and Haldol (only in the hospital) Oh yeah! Risperdal too.

And you?

Answer 4

My son takes depakote er, abilify, topamax, wellbutrin and a med for lithium induced hypothyroidism.
On depakote er because it lasts longer than regular depakote.

Answer 5

Lithium for 15 years
That's it, but have been on Lamictal, seroquel, Welbutrin. But Lithium has worked the best.

Answer 6

paxil- screws you up mentally
wellbutrin- ok, but screws up sex life
lithium- made me road rage like crazy
seroquel-seems to be working
vallium-works best
marijuana- always helps.

Answer 7

i am on lithium and effexor and lorazapam....
