sorry for the delay in posting.
I guess I have suffered some mania episodes. My mania moments seem to be that I will get focused on a subject or activity, and then that is all that matters. Even if it is the least important thing I need to be doing. Then the next day I can not get out of bed I am so depressed.
As for the Aderall, I have also been diagnosed with ADD and mild OCD mixed in with anxiety, stress... etc, etc. I understand the Aderall (30mg twice a day) is for focusing (ADD, OCD?). Lamactil (150mg once) is for the mood swings (BPII)... Wellbutrin (150mg twice a day)for depression, Colonopin (1mg? as needed)for anxiety, and my General Dr. has me on Cozaar for HBP. Man, listing that out makes me feel like an addict and that I am out of my mind. lol
But I think that is the whole point of this thread, has anyone else taken this cocktail? My mood swings seem to still exist (I have been on all these for about a year, maybe more). The levelness seemed to go away when my dr upped the Lamactil to 150mg. That was about 6-8 months ago. He said that it would take time for the effects to show. But just the other day, my wife told me that she still walks on eggshells when my mood is down. And I thought I was doing a lot better.
Any Ideas?:confused:
