Hello everyone. I am currently on Seroquil 200mg @ night, Geodon 40mg @ night and Benzotropine 2mg @ night.I have been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. I have tried so many different meds and the side effects always give me a hard time. It makes me feel so hopeless because I cant seem to find the right combo of meds to help me. I tried lamicictal with my current meds and it just seemed to get me more depressed. Anti-depressants make me feel out of it like I am going in slow motion or something. And certain meds mixed with my geodon such as seroizone give me waking nightmares, Others have made me gain weigt, it's just so hard.. I am able to function on these meds as far as going to work and school. However, I get really depressed and dread having to get out and do stuff. When I work I just think, kind of obsess over some bad past experiences and become overwhelmed with worries such as losing a loved one or thinking farther ahead about my obligations. My doctor just gets so frustrated with me because I have to change around my meds so much,she just don't understand how it feels to not have so many meds to work right for me. I am becoming so insecure that there is no help for me. So, I stuck with my current meds like I was told for over a year now. But, now I am struggling with them as well. I am researching ablify to possibly add on. Please if any of you have any suggestions and know where I am coming from let me know. I just need to know that I am not alone with all this and I would love to know options of different meds that may help me the way I need. Thank you all for taking the time out to read my issues.
