Well, don't jump to conclusions.
I am just not a fan of the drug combinations. The toxicity of many of these meds is likely worse in combination. How a drug affects you alone is not necessarily how it will affect you in a drug combo.
For instance, a study showed that the oxidative stress induced by sertraline in neural tissue was magnified several fold by the addition of valproate.
There is a tendency to cling to medications and collect them, even if they are not doing you any good. Many people get better by coming *off* medications.
I too once was on about 6 medications (celexa, epival, clonazepam, zyprexa, lithium, cogentin....oh plus SAMe). I was in and out of the hospital for years.
Right now, omega-3 stabilizes most of my moods. I add in some taurine and magnesium as needed if I get too out of control. My only medications are methyphenidate and amitriptyline (10mg) when needed for sleep.
