Wow, thanks for all of your replies!I've had all of the above. I also have psychotic features, for which I am taking Abilify. But in my case it is especially hard to tell if I may have Bipolar because they started me on Topamax for migraines at the same time as they started me on Remeron for depression. So manic symptoms may have been masked.
My pdoc is hoping that by giving me Depakote he can simpifly my medication regime, which includes: Abilify, Topamax, Remeron, Seroquel, and Wellbutrin.
I'm doing fine now, but he says I'm on way to many meds. He suggested that I may be able to take just a Depakote and Abilify (if I'm really bipolar). Has anyone else had a similar combo? How did it go? It it worth risking changing all my meds since I'm doing OK?
Thanks again,
Dm
