Hi Jessica!
I take Cymbalta for depression/fibromyalgia and Depakote for a mood stabilizer. That's it for prescription drugs. I take ibuprofen or aspirin for the occasional headache and
Claritin OTC for seasonal allergies. As far as vitamins go, I take Omega 3 for bipolar and joint health, B-12 sublingual for depression and fibromyalgia, calcium and magnesium for bone health, fibromyalgia and to lessen side effects from antidepressant medication, an occasional caplet of tyrosine when I'm really tense but don't want to feel sedated and a daily multivitamin because my diet is not always the greatest.

Jessica,


For I take Lithium, Wellbutrin & Lexapro, along with Ambien occasionally for sleep along with 3 Omega 3 capsules a day (still waiting to see more on the Omega 3 studies, but since I know it helps with my joints and my diet is lousy, I figured it can't hurt).


I also take about 12 other prescription meds (can't remember the names today to save my soul) for arthritis, GERD, asthma & allergies, high cholesterol, thyroid problems & overactive bladder.

hi jessica,


i'm taking wellbutrin, trileptal, seroquel, and when needed trazodone for sleep and if my anxiety gets totally out of hand, xanax.


through several adjustments, today has got to be the first day in quite a while that i've had a 'good' day. all i can say is i hope the trend continues, because i'm definitely tired of the swings.


hugs
