These are almost all the medications I have tried for depression, mania and bipolar after diagnosed. Abilify-mania
Remeron-mania
Depakote-severe weight gain
Lithium-hypothyroidism
Wellbutrin-tinnitus, shakes
Risperdal-only took for college concentration
Didn't work:
Zyprexa
Topamax
Paxil
Buspar
Cymbalta
Effexor
Neurontin
Lexapro
Ones that work:
Seroquel in large doses (600mg + per day)
Lamictol high doses (200mg + per day)
Xanex
Clonazepam (I choose not to take with my Xanex)
Zoloft (100mg per day)
Trying all these meds to find what doesn't work is stressful just in itself and very expensive. At one point I barely had insurance and Seroquel cost me $200 a month plus health insurance was $512 a month. I worked several part time jobs just to pay for my mental disorder, which drove me into further depression and debt.
What medications have you tried? Tell me if they work for you or not.
Lithium for mood stability, Trazadone for sleep, Geodon for mood stability, Risperdol and Ability to stop mania/psychosis. Dropped the Wellbutrin this week it was making me manic, I was going to Target everyday, lol. It's not funny, but yeah, I have to laugh. Or I'd cry. ;0
