Ok-won't get into the whole how I was dx with bp about 8 months ago. Pretty much the same story wreckless behavior story for about a year before treatment. If I had kept a journal then it could be a great movie.

I am on 200mg of Lamictal/100 grams of Geodon/150mg Wellbutrin/30 mg Rozarum for Sleep/ No booze for now-no recreational drugs). I am sort of in the middle, unemotional distant from my family. My wife who is hanging in has suffered several breakdowns with concern for our marriage. I'll take any mania at this point.

I have monthly meetings with pdoc and weekly with tdoc. Keeping journal, been going for about 8 months now. My symptoms have physically improved but I continue to have that nervous pinching in my chest, sort of a depressed, I don't care thing going on.

I know we have all become "experts" on meds, that is why I am looking for some alternatives I can change or add to my cocktail. I would just like to explore with my pdoc when we meet next time.

Many studies have shown that fish oil is wonderful to assist in mood stabilization. It is not a quick fix but over time, a couple of month, it can really help. Adding a multivitamin can help as well.
