Q: Newly Diagnosed

I am newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder and currently on short term disability to get my moods stabilized and get some much needed sleep. Currently, I'm taking Seroquel, Cymbalta, Klonopin, Ambien and Mobic (for fibromyalgia). After today, I'll stop the Cymbalta and start Lamictal. Has anyone used these with success.

I appreciate all comments.

I havent used those myself but im sure someone here would be able to give you their experience. The thing to be mindful of however is that medication works differently on everybody so what was a disaster for someone may be great for you. You may be able to google the net for forums that deal directly with these medications and get peoples different accounts.

Good Luck
