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.
Please make it stop

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.
