Re: Not doing too well but in a new and different

I've never had the slightest symptom of bipolar disorder. My "normal" state is mildly disthymic. I have to agree that I take too many drugs. The difficulty is I'm disinclined to make things worse when I'm in a bad state. My current meds give me a certain amount of shelter so that some of the rain is kept out. I have been trying to dismantle the shelter but four weeks ago having stopped ritalin completely and being down to 2.5 mg xanax, I went into a steep mood decline.

I'm inclined to believe that the remeron and the extra 50mg of desipramine are unneccessary. The ritalin, benzos, and vicodin are ameliorative. If the lamictal starts to work I can go back to getting rid of the superfluous pharmaceuticals. If it doesn't we'll move on to something different. Effexor is one possible next choice. Buprenorphine is another since the vicodin seems to be so effective for me and the buprenorphine is less likely to build tolerance. Does anybody have other suggestions (If the lamictal doesn't pan out)?
