Not happy with all this medicine 75mg of tomamax 3x a day, 100 mg of luxox and 5mg of saphis. Planning on trying a new pdoc. Too much med!! Need some releif! I still walked the dog to the bus stop to get Sam from school today. Had my Program this morning from 9-12. That was extremely helpful. Ran some errans after that stopped by my therapists office to get the list of other pdocs that are covered under my insurance. Called all the ones she circled as good ones and they have long waiting lists sooo I made an an apt tomorrow to go back an see my old pdoc who has know me for over 4 years.
Helped Sam with his homework, went to an exercise biking class and came home and fixed dinner. Then I went to another bipolar meeting tonight, it was good.
It was a good productive day. Felt somewhat better today!

That is a lot of medication. Yes, you may need to start over with another doc.
Thanks for your feedback. Seeing my old pdoc tomorrow. Looking forward it!
Med changes should be done with a lot of planning and gradual integration...if you are medication sensitive...which it sounds like you may be.
You need a cocktail that works for you. What\'s worked in the past, of course, may or may not work today.
Mary tried Depakote and Lamictal...and neither worked at all. Good old Lithobid and Risperdal worked in the early days.
She takes nothing but some Xanax, now.
I don\'t think she has classic Bipolar Disorder...but rather Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
She does really well without meds...overall.
I will keep you updated! Thanks for your help in this matter.
