i've expereienced the worst mixed episode that i have had to date.
i cant even believe i'm alive right now. my problem is... its not over.they lowered all of my meds. i'm now only on pristiq 50, and zyprexa 5mg.
i just spent 5 minutes crying while writing an email to my T BEGGING her to help me. though i know there is not much she can help with.
******************
so here's what i'm asking from babble folk. i am willing to go on either an Atypical Antipsychotic OR mood stabilizer (or quite frankly almost anything). However i will list the ones i've been on in the past that have either not worked or gotten severe side effects from.AAP
zyprexa (they lowered to 5 + brand has been $150 week.)
Abilify (severe anger/aggitationg)
Haldol (low dose but gave me headaches)
seroquel (gave me severe cog blunting)
risperdal (no effect)
geodon (psychosis)
perphenazine (have only used low dose, worked well)
Saphris (worked lightly... wasn't enough)
MS
gabapentin (has worked well in the past, but they took me off it right now)
trileptal (ataxia and locked in syndrome)
topamax (headaches and Rapid cycling)
lamictal (rapid cycling)
please med guru's give me a couple ideas to present to doc as soon as possible. i'm hoping i can get resolved sooner rather than later.b2
