Psychotic Bipolar Depression

Posted by Lamdage22 on July 8, 2012, at 8:25:14

Hello Everyone,
some may know me as Hunk22 or Lamdage without "22".
i foolishly went off psyche meds and guess what i ended up in hospital. My life spiraled out of control a bit after meeting a potential girlfriend.
It seems like i have bipolar (II) disorder and i do get paranoid in both the depressed and the hypomanic phase.
My head is quite a mess.
Before i ever seriously took medication, i was dysthymic, had depressive episodes and occasional 1-2 day episodes with elevated moods.
Long term stability in my moods is what i am after.. I do not seem to have had hallucinations, but i certainly get paranoid in both depressed and elevated mood phases. I need to add that it looks more like bipolar (II), since i suffer alot more from depression than the other end of the spectrum.
My current regimen is:
Morning:
5mg Zyprexa
50mg Lamotrigine
Evening:
10mg Zyprexa

I am thinking to ask my doctor about adding Abilify and lower dose Lithium in an attempt to finally even out my moods and make me stable.
Maybe after a while i can reduce the zyprexa, taking only 5mg at night for sleep. I was thinking to take those meds only at nightime.
Furthermore i would like to add Memantine or some other "smartdrug" to reduce Lamictal stupor. I want to take high dose Methylfolate as well.
Have to hope the doctors agree with my suggestions.
What are your thoughts?
What about Geodon vs. Abilify.
I want to finally become stable and steer clear of depression, mania AND Paranoia.
Im in a hospital currently

Thanks in advance and a warm greeting,
Lamdage
