I want to be more up than down and I never have an equal balance. So I say go for manic. I will see my doctor in a couple of days and I want to know if anyone here has any suggestions. I am currently on Lamictal and a nerve medication. He added another one that seemed to lift me up a lot, but the side effects were horrible--Ambilify--I think I spelled it correctly. Anyway, what is another good one similar to it or one that will keep my mood up and give me energy?

First of all, if you are Bipolar, DO NOT take an antidepressant! This will make your cycling a lot worse! Otherwise, you need to talk to your doctor about your medication. There are a lot of medications out there used to treat Bipolar disorder, but they react differently in different people. Who knows what would be a good one for you? Only you and your doctor can determine what might be best. Good luck!

It's Abilify.
And I'm on Wellbutrin and Seroquel. Celexa works wonders on keeping you "up", thouh they do tend to cause more panic attacks. That's just me, though. The doctor still doesn't know whether I'm clinically depressed or bipolar.
I'm on 150mg Wellbutrin
100mg Seroquel
and was on 25mg Celexa, til I got a really bad panic attack
