great combo and intro

Posted by bark2323 on May 4, 2003, at 8:00:02

Hi. Ive posted here once or twice before (though read this a lot), and also probably under a different name, since Ive had to go through registration again. So sorry if this wastes your time. Anways, about me, and what works for my problems, which hopefully will apply to some of you and maybe give some ideas, or if someone just has a question. (Ive studied psychopharmacology for years so I know a good bit, in addition to having some experience with this stuff.)

Diasgosis(es) over the years:
BP I and II (agree to II)
GAD (probably agree, though its more agitation and tension than "free-floating anxiety", which I believe goes more along with bp II)
Psychotic Depression (valid at one time)
OCD (some tendencies, but not nearly up to being OCD itself)
Major Depression (agree that first episode (I hate that word))
Substance related disorders (valid at the time)
Mild Social Phobia (sometimes true, but sometimes also overly social to the point of turning people away)
So now, and my doc agrees (hes a great doc too, listens and uses my input, is logical and not reactive, etc.) BP II and probably GAD

-Meds previously taken:
Lithium (effective but dulling)
Various SSRIs (somewhat effective in short term, also dulling)
seroquel (only good for sleep)
Neurontin
Ativan
Imiprimine (to activating)
Wellbutrin (better antidepressant, though produced a lot of irritability)
Effexor (even better, especially in combo with wellbutrin)
Remeron (probably best antidepressant for me)
various combos of these
plus ones Im on now...

-Meds now (which includes some Ive been on previously) (hence Great Combo title:
Trileptal 900mg
Depakote 500
Provigil 400
Zyprexa 5 (just started)
Neurontin (getting off, only 600 hs for sleep)
Klonopin 4 (good for anxiety, but tension rising lately, and I find it pretty dulling at this dose)
Propanolol 120 (for tremor)
These all seem to be doing really well, and Im hopefully going to be able to get rid of 1 or 2 and taper one if all goes well which leads to...

-As for the klonopin and zyprexa, I have a question, but Im going to post it seperately, since I know even the mention of those meds attracts a lot more people than an intro.
