I hate this mood...like a drizzly rainy day that never ends. I take a stick and whack at the dark clouds above me but they just float around my weapon. This is so dull. I'm so dull. Is it the abilify? The serequel? Everyone's up on lamictil....should I switch? Abilify worked at first but now it seems to make my mood worse.

First off, I'm so sorry that you're feeling 'blah' right now.
As to the Lamictal, it doesn't make me 'up', but it does keep me much more level, overall!!
I really like that aspect of it and certainly think it's worth a shot, if your doc thinks it might be the way to go!!!
Good luck and take care!!!

I want something to get me out of this hazy fog....I'd even smoke grass if I thought it would help.

I'm only 4 days into my lamictal, but my pdoc felt it was going to be the med i needed. Talk to your pdoc about it. My son was on serequel and it wasnt pretty, but when he switched to abilify, he seemed to taper out. From what I understand serequel can make you quite tired.

How much seroquel? Some days I seem to almost drunk, including falling over, I call it my seroquel hangover.

    Hey everyone, I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 on Friday and I'm really nervous about how a new medication will effect me. Any support regarding med effects (pros and cons) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
