I'm just wondering what medications everyone takes. Just curious! I take Cymbalta, Xanax XR, and 10 mg. of Geodon in the morning. At night I take Lamictal and Geodon.

i take 600 lithium in the morning(i keep forgetting to take it so i MIGHT have taken it 2x this morning..i'd rather have too much that too little in my system when i get my blood taken tomorrow...i don't want more lithium)
600 more lithium at dinner along with 60 geodon(which i'm now gonna take at BEDTIME instead.talk about "instant coma")
i think this is the most conservative amount of meds i've taken,but we'll see...new doc.

Hi Renee!

I take 20 mgs Prozac in AM and 100 mgs Lamictal in PM. Ambien and Xanax as needed. The usual for Lamictal is 200 but I am on the fence. Some days I think it's working, some days not.

Pug hugs, Kelli

Right now I take 150mg of bupropion (generic wellbutrin) in the morning, 150mg of bupropion in the afternoon, 100mg of topamax and .5mg of Abilify at bedtime. The topamax will be at 100mg for a week, then 50mg for a week then done. I also take xanax as needed, which is has equated to .5mg 3x/day lately. I've been on the bupropion since March, the topamax since July and just started the Abilify last night.

Lexapro 20mg and Seroquel 400mg =both at bedtime. Just started the Seroquel a couple weeks ago when I was told I 'might be' Bipolar by a Nurse Practitioner at the General Practitioners office. Been on the Lexapro for years for "depression".
