Hi all,
Thank you for existing here to support fellow sufferers. This is a big step for me to participate in a forum like this. For about 8 years now I have been in treatment for bipolar. I was primarily on a mood stabilizer (Lamictal) with Seroquel as PRN. Recently we switched to using both Lamictal and Seroquel everyday. I had to switch providers last month. This one would like to add an antidepressant to the mix. I am really really torn on this. Anybody have experience with this cocktail. I am trying to use a bowling alley analogy. The moodstabilizer keeps the bumpers. The Seroquel helps dampen the mania and the antidepressant helps keep lows at bay. But I am not jazzed about one more med.
