Ok I am crossing my fingers this time. Pdoc said to lower my lithium back to 900mg but get a lithium level first, she told me to keep taking the Lamictal 200mg and added Geodon 20mg a day. She also gave me a great idea. I hate to do cardio because I sometimes get headaches after I am done, and I hate headaches worse than being fat. Sooooo I told her about that and she told me to take advil before I exercise to help if I get a headache. I dunno why I never thought of that before, so I am gonna try it and see how it works. She told me that if all this straightens me out some, that she will add Strattera if I still need it but she doesnt want to add too much at once.
She finally actually told me today I am Bipolar I with rapid cycling and that its the hardest to treat but that she is gonna do whatever she can. I told her everything that was happening and how I felt and all that, except for the parts that would freak out DH because he was in there with me. We talked about when I should call her, and she said if I thought I couldnt handle something then I should call her..but I have never had a time when I couldnt handle it. My DH helps me when I am super manic and when I am depressed, I have su thoughts but I never act on them because of my kids, so I am never really too much in danger unless I am super manic and by myself somewhere which rarely happens anyways.
So I am really hopeful that I will get somewhere with this med change but I am not holding my breath.
