Update: treatment 37 days; regimen now thoughts?

Posted by Louisiana Sportsman on June 28, 2014, at 18:43:48

Hey, everybody! I've missed contributing, but I felt that a mental health rehabilitation treatment center "vacation" was necessary.

I decided that something had to be done to ameliorate my symptoms, and I wanted to work with a top-notch treatment team.

I am blessed to be able to take off work like this and have my insurance cover nearly $25,000 lol, it was a great experience! Never felt better in my life. I am going to advocate psychotherapy more often.

Regiment Completely Discontinued with no psych meds for 9 days. This is what I was on before:

Latuda 60mg. QHS CF
Brintellix 20mg. QD
Topamax XR [Trokendi XR] (topiramate) 100mg. BID
Klonopin (clonazepam) 0.5mg. TID
Desoxyn (methamphetamine) 30mg.
Nuvigil 250mg.

Six is generally my "sweet spot" that I try not to go over. But I did lol.

My new seven, all prescribed by PDOCs within a 37 day span of time. with mg. amounts:

Latuda 60mg.
Topiramate (Topamax) 100mg.
Nuvigil 250mg.
Bupropion (Wellbutrin) SR 450mg.
Sertraline (Zoloft) 50mg.
Mirtazapine (Remeron) 15mg.
Gabapentin (Neurontin) 2,400mg.

I also received an exhaustive investigation of conclusive diagnosis as follows:

Dx. Axis I: Bipolar Depression marked with neurotic anxiety and comormid ADHD. Axis II: Schizoid Personality Disorder with covert features.

This is the best regiment I've been on and it's relatively cheap compared to some combos in the past since everything is a generic $10 except for the $60 for Latuda and Nuvigil. Doctor visit is $50 with insurance so $220/month is what I think about because I could finance a car so besides this stuff being a hobby the time is money lol.

Anxiety, which can spark sadness, is the main issue, but I don't want to take benzos or really a gabapentinoid since I'm liable to abuse the script. I told myself I'd never get gabapentin again, but the treatment center managed giving it out. I think I'm gonna try to stick with it. I think if does wonders for mood. Gabitril is on my mind. What else?

ADHD is still a factor too, but the 450mg. SR bupropion dose and the Nuvigil honestly helps, but not like the Desoxyn. I really don't want an amp, methyl, atomoxie, or a hypertension medicine.

Opinions? Ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions of what augment or adjust? Any input is welcome!
