Sole care provider (gopher) for my elderly mom 85 y.o. and the miracle of my life is Anita, my soulmate. Vitamins, exercise, but, hey, kill me (!) my nasty habit is talking to myself to hear my own thoughts above the white noise. I keep this log for the Police, my psychologist, my psychiatrist, CARD and my credibility.

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I have both a psychologist to talk to and he gives advice, so it's much better than most others in the past. Also I have a psychiatrist at a different location who prescribes the 3 medications that you see here.

      Seroquel Working / Worked
      for bedtime sleep aid, but it's really for lingering accumulative effect for psychotic symptoms like talking to self out loud in public. 25mg bedtime
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      This is for focus, 100mg, 2x daily and it is working. Mehylphenidate is not allowed with Lexapro. And they chose Wellbutrin instesd of Adderall.

No ill effects or episodes of bipolar from going off lithium. 2006 diagnosed AS.
