i find this frustrating also. but try to hang with it .they will find something that works for you. i hate med changes also. i have such a fear of them .but we have to keep fighting. hugs ..marie

I know what you mean. My first pdoc was terrific. She took her time changing my meds and was very gentle with them. I was willing to be patient, trusting that she was helping me get better. A year later she moved out of the area.

My second pdoc greeted me at her office, opened her prescription pad, and asked me what I wanted. Not my style.

My third pdoc told me I'm the most sensitive being in the universe because I have so many unpleasant reactions to meds. He wants me to be on the full dose of each of my meds. I want to get off meds because they interfere with my life. I'm not sure that they've helped me at all, except the clonazepam for anxiety.

I was diagnosed Oct. 2006. I understood at the time that I'd start feeling better in 6 months. How long have you been working with meds?

I'm getting a lot of hope from the books by Drs. Amen and Hyman. They write about healing the brain.

I hear you !!!! I got dx 8yrs ago and they are still screwing with my meds but they are mostly just tweeking now ( adding meds to the mood stabilizer), within the last 3 yrs now ive found a good mood stabilizer that is making a difference ( Lithium) they tried almost everything else with me, it was a very frustrating time, but keep your head up and keep marching on, they will find something thats right for you, sometimes it takes a little time, i know its sucks, hang in there

I was diagnosed 3 yrs ago and we have run through almost every med there is my p-doc and I are both getting very frustrated and don't know what to do. He wants me in the hospital to try and get it straightened out but I told him that is not going to happen.

I take 300 mg of wellbutrin, 250 mg of lamictal and 100 mg of seroquel.. so far this med combo works ok for me ... not perfect but ok... its really hard to find the meds that fit with your brain chemistry.. I hope you reach a solution soon.. ((hugs)) polar

hang in there and keep trying, eventually you'll find something tht works

have been trying to find right med combo for a long time and it is tempting to just give up. all you can do is keep trying. good luck with it.

I had to start all over with meds over the holidays when I ended up in the hospital. I'm still battling the meds her in March and changing things, its the pits. Hang in their it will get better.

Just try to deal with it until they find the right meds for you.Know what your going through.dealing as well. best of luck!!

hey hun, i know what you mean, i am at my med docs today and i am petrified because i know after my recent breakdown she will be changing my meds, i hate med changes..im still a newbie to bipolar but i do know how frustrating it is eveytime i get the new meds i think this is the one to make me feel better only to be disappointed..hang in there hun

i echo the others that say it takes a while to get meds straight. took me about 6 years of trying to get a combo that brought me around the corner. i am not always ok, but for the most part i am. we just tweaked a little bit recently.

I'm doing the same s think I had meds that works but due to or lovelyly med system I am off coldtukey and to pay what I was takink is 773 dollars
