In reply to Depends on Stimulant, and dosing., posted by Christina on September 3, 2002, at 9:20:59

Hi there, I am presently in a regional mental health hospital that deals with "treatment resistant" patients. I have been there for three months. I have been diagnosed with BPII. I am presently on
Lithium 900 MG
Lamictal 225 MG
L-Thyroxin 50 MG
Seroquel 50 MG.

It has taken me a looong time to get to these doses as I get every side effect there is!

I am totally exhausted, hence the thyroid med, but haven't had much response. I have been in this depressed state for 2 years. My doc decided to try Ritalin. He gave me a dose on Friday, I think it was.5 MG (blue). I had NO response to it. He said when I get back to hospital he will try a higher dose.(I get out on weekends!)

Is this normal to have NO response? Is there any point in trying?
One other point, when I was a teenager I tried a type of speed (yellow jackets?) and it put me to sleep!
When I had ECT the anesthetician (SP)said it was VERY hard to get me to sleep...hardest he has seen....doc figures something to do with my liver.....ECT's didn't help....
Thanks for any responses.
