Yes, I'm sure there are other drugs to try.
I'm taking 600mgLithium
150 mg Wellbutrin XL
20 mg Paxil
75 mcg synthroid
.25-1 mg lorazapam (ativan) for sleep
While lithium got me out of the hospital and fairly stabilized, in some ways being a miracle drug for me, I think also dulls me quite a bit as well.Do any of you, once 'stabilized' as much as you can be, feel 'great' much of the time? Or, like me, feel great for short bursts of mild hypomania and feel dull and stupid and mildly depressed most of the time?
I would like to be able to say I feel 'great!'. Period. Is that a possibility???
Thanks so much for all of your thoughts. It's good to talk to others like me. Sometimes it's so lonely dealing with this and I feel whiney because I'm so sensitive to everything that happens around me. Most people just go about their day without their mood being in the way.
