Medication Catastrophe!!!

[t.stephaney]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen. I was first diagnosed with Depression in 2001. I was put on Zoloft 50 mg/day for years. Then, a life event happened to me a year ago. I started developing a impulse to kill myself to fix everything. After 3 tries in 1.5 years, I was finally diagnosed a month or two ago as Bipolar I. The dr put me on Zoloft 100 mg, Depakote 1000mg and Seroquel 400mg... while I was in the psych hospital. Well, I had my dr visit check up and he keeps me on the Zoloft and seroquel for now but only take 5 500mg pills plus Neurontin (Gabapentin). My dr said that is it. I am so anxious all the time, esp in public... :-(

I just recently started getting anxiety and panic attacks alongside my bi polar ....it is horrible. I just want you to know you're not alone and hopefully we can overcome all of this very soon!

I am taking 500 mg of depakote until Thursday, then none. Dr did a rapid decrease... then I am taking neaurontin in place of that. Stilll on seroquel 400 mg and zoloft 100 mg.... iam hating this :-(

Perhaps he could increase the neurontin to help with anxiety. Alankay
