I'm flying today. Lots of energy. Good thing too, my house needs the work.
They took me off the Lithium 1350mg and put me on Lamictal 100mg.
...off Wellbutrin 400mg and on Lexapro 10mg
...upped Invega from 6mg to 9mg
...decreased Remeron from 60mg to 30mg
...added Ambien 10mg for sleep


Sounds like you have a busy day in store for yourself:)_ I'm glad you got your meds adjusted. I hope this works out for you. Know that you can post here as often as you need to. We're here for you to help and support you.
Good luck with your med changes and hang in there:)
Hugs,

I've never heard of Remeron or Invega. Can you tell me what they are for?
Thanks, Jenny
Remeron is an antidepressant that seems to work faster than SSRI's and some other antidepressants.
Invega is a varient on Risperdal (an antipsychotic) which is made by the same company. I think, and don't quote me on this, but I think it is low dose Risperdal which means less side effects. Between Invega and adding medicine for my thyroid I was able to loose weight I'd gained on Risperdal.
Hope the med changes help!
