Welcome to Gaia! ::

oh man, yeah... trileptol messes you the ******** up. my friend mattt died this year, and i took my dose BEFORE a candle light thing we did at his house. i was literally falling on the ground. i couldn't walk, stand... it was ********. i think everyone knew about the meds, though, so i don't think my fear was realized, which was that everyone would think i got shitfaced before the thing to deal.

My parents[More like my grandma, grandfather is the only stable one in this family] and I hateing my doctor for giving me the Prozac and Zoloft family type pills. Nearly commited suicide. It didn't help my Bi-polar and depression, just made it worse. Actualy, they were misdiagnosing me aswell. ******** and ADHD, jitters and breakdowns. Also for bi-polar but doesn't help much
and allergy meds for sleep and allergies. I haven't been put on alot seeing as I'm only 12, they might put me on Lithium as soon as I get older and mabey somthing for sleep other then abusing my allergy pills for both issues.

Lithium- 600 mg twice a day
Synthroid- 25 mg
Welbutrin- 150 mg twice a day
Trazadone- 50 mg

edit:
~*new*~ Geodon- 40 mg twice a day

I feel like I'm on too much, what do you guys think?

Heh. You responded to my post months ago on lamictil, and now I'm responding to this one. ...I don't know why I find that amusing/cool, though.

I'm on 150ml now. I think I should be on 175, though. And I agree with that statement, as I saw my doc today, and apparently I've got seasonal. >.< But I think I knew that already. Winter ******** SUCKS. ...The only ironic thing there, is that I always consider winter my favorite season. Go figure.

But that means more sunlight on my poor skin. Bah.

I got put on 10mg of Ritalin, too. ...Any comments on that? (Note: I generally have very few side effects)

Update: currently on:
Lamictil
Concerta
Ritalin

...Probably mg, methinks.

And yes (even though I'm not on much), it feels like everything gets increased every time I go. ...I've got to talk to my doc about anxiety issues, too, so who knows what comes next.....

I'm getting meds Friday.
I hate doctors~

I was a total veggie on Seroquil, but my friend Patrick actually has had success with it....

I just got diagnosed bipolar, after a few years of being on Lexapro and having it make my mood totally unbalanced (I was constantly irritated and prone to horrible episodes of unrelenting rage, just horrible over the top emotions). I've been taking Lithium for about four days now, I'm on a very low dose (like 300 mg) and I double it next week. So far I've just noticed the side effects (namely that large amounts of caffeine will make me sick). Hope it works for me, I have a lot of faith in it so I'm hoping the placebo effect will boost the effectiveness of the medication.

Also, it's the cheapest thing I can take and considering I can barely afford food at this point (this is not my computer, I do not have the internet in my apartment) that's a good thing. 60 capsules cost me only twenty bucks, so I'm willing to put up with the constant bloodwork (even though I have a phobia of getting blood drawn) just for that. Also, I've read about the other medications I can take (my psych doesn't want to put me on anti-psychotics because I have no psychotic symptoms) and the side effects really scare me. They seem a lot worse than the Lithium, the side effects of which are actually pretty minimal if you keep the proper diet.

Totally unrelated but
