Yea, I think the Prozac pushed me over the edge. I just can't tolerate ADs. I guess if I was on a mood stabilizer I could, but the Prozac really made me nuts.
Plus, everytime I try Seroquel, I love the sleep but it messes up my moods. Only good for sleep - bad for my stablity. I never truly felt stable on Geodon either.
My doc has me taking Lithium again (just 450mg a day) along with 1.5 mg of Klonopin and a small dose of Adderall in the morning. I see her in a week and a half and we'll see how it goes.
I now know that ADs are out for me and so are anti-psychotics.
I think I will stick with the low dose Lithium and Klonopin. My concern is weight gain with Lithium, but I will continue to exercise (which helps me as much as meds!) and watch my diet and hopefully I won't gain.
I agree, too many meds mess you up.
