meds/bpII

i hope everyone has been doing okay, haven't been on in awhile...

i'm still majorly struggling with my meds...going off the antidepressant b/c it seems to be agitating the hmania, so i'm scared once i'm off of the anitdprssnt that i'll be more dprssed...as i'm wheening off of it, i am noticing i'm already more dpressed.  i can't win.  the whole goal is to be stable, but it seems impossible...still on the lamictal now 100mg a day, it just doesn't seem to be working well.

can i get any suggestions on what med combos have worked well for everyone else.  i know we're not professionals, but any suggestions would be helpful.  i'm trying to research, doc not so helpful...thanks guys

Just thought of something reading both posts that you might want to talk to your Pdoc about and that's your thyroid function.  The reason I meniton this is because after I was put on thyroid hormone 'just cause' by an Endocronologist, my Pdoc mentioned that if a person doesn't respond to regular meds, supporting the thyroid often helps.

Mind you, my thyroid related problems had to do with such severe constipation that it's nothing short of a miracle that I didn't have to have a colostomy, but just the same, I found her comment interesting and hope it might help you.

Take care.
