Since I'm supposedly bi polar 1 I use a combination of meds. I take lithobid, lamictal and xanax as needed for my moods/anxiety.

I am in the process of twitching over from imipramine(tofranil) to zoloft. So far, so good.
I also take buspar everyday, and ativan as needed.

I put Other. I use Antidepressants and I have Klonopin. I am very scared of the klonopin. I am scared of getting addicted. And it makes me go to sleep and since I have a young child I can't take it anyway. So for me I usually talk my way through the PA and PRAY.

Thx so much for posting, Julie. You really bring me alot of comfort. I, too, pray through the panic because giving it over to God is the only option. I think that it's a heart event as well. I tell myself that I have been having these *heart events* for 35 years & if I'm gonna die, then let's get this party started. Or, I apparently don't know how to die, because I haven't gotten it right, yet. It's imperative to use humor, as I would go nuts without a good laugh @ my expense. Sending T&P's to you & your little family! (((hugs))) jan

I take celexa, lunesta and way too much xanax. My pdoc says she is stumped about the xanax and the amount I take should put out a horse. Ha ha, she cracks me up. Anyway, obviously if the dosage is so high she doesn't have any other patients on it, you would think she would change it. Then again, guess I'm not the dr.
