Well, I've just switched pdocs and addedd a neurologist to the mix, also a counselor and she is my favorite.  My old pdoc was treating me for BPII and ADD, but barely addressing my TLE, then I got a bad headache - 8 weeks so far.  My new pdoc addedd Dx: Panic d/o w/Agoraphobia

was on Lamictal 200
Effexor XR 225
Adderall 40

now on tegretol 500
neurontin 600
adderall 20 will have to go back up
Lodine
Klonopin .5 x 3
Lortab 7.5 x 3
Effexor 225
Am presently feeling much better, calmer, headache has not resolved hence the Lortab, am a little sleepy, but I guess that's too be expected with the klonopin, but the neurontin is really making me the most tired and making me eat a little more, but hopefully will resolve when i make Dr. A increase my Adderall back to 40. 
Seroquel about 50 mg a night, but i get these from a friend.
have you ever tried vistaril, a friend gave me some that his pdoc prescribes for anxiety and i love it.

You almost got it right--it's "agoraphobia."

Psychiatrist has spoken with my occupational therapist and concluded that the ADD is a real and present problem. We are now slowly adding Strattera to my cocktail. 18mg will soon be 25mg. In the meantime (on a likely unrelated note), I am depressed and trapped in bureaucratic limbo by my own inaction. Frig.

I take neurontin 1200 mg and 150 lamictal for Bi polar. And I and my self.

[jackson]

funny name for a thread had to reply!

bi polar type 2.. gad and who knows anymore .. i know im a lot better with lamictal in my life.. i liked lithium too. but im reeeaaalllly happy those two exsist.

Lamictal 300 mg
30 buspar
300 wellbutrin
.5 klonopin as needed

Im switching it up tomorrow .. weaning off Wellbutrin, i think its making me jittery... gonna go 150 for a couple days and get off it completly.. im gonna see how i feel in a couple weeks without it.

My new cocktail will be:

Lamictal 300
60 buspar
.5 klonopin

we'll see how it rolls...

I WOULD LOVE AN SSRI TO COME OUT WITH NO SEXUAL SIDE EFFECTS... PLEASE SOME SMART DOC OUT THERE INVENT ONE

[lavender]

Jackson, have you tried Remeron? For me and many others, it really helps when other AD's haven't worked out due to side effects, so thought it was worth mentioning...

[febrezeaddict]

I have Schizoaffective (Bipolar Type) ADHD, OCD, PTSD, Panic Attacks...

These would be my Current if I had insurance:
Paxil 30mg
Topamax 100mg AM, 300mg PM
Strattera 60mg AM
Ripserdal 6mg PM

AND... since I have no thyroid... (was removed AND had radioactive iodine therapy due to thyroid cancer.. >_<)
Levothyroxin 200mcg

Right now all I have left is the risperdal and levothyroxin. D: I'm doing really horribly....

[jackson]

Hello Again!

Thanks Lavender you have a great idea!

Why not try to throw it in to this cocktail.. 300mg Lamictal 60 Buspar .5 Klonipin

Does anyone know if Lamictal/Buspar are compatible with Remeron or has anybody heard of any bad interactions?

I've been looking on the web but havent been able to dig anything up yet.

[papertrees]

My cocktail now is:
300mg Lamictal
10mg Abilify
2mg Biperiden
2mg Clonazepam.

It's an okay cocktail. Don't feel it except that I know it's working,

[Mckey]

for the past 5 years i never stayed on the same cocktail for a year. constant changes to what works to what doesnt work. in matter of fact, i have a new cocktail different from my last cocktail when i posted in a thread just like this one not too long ago aka i dont understand this thread.

[Pamito]

I'm hoping I take the prize for most sedating cocktail!

Zyprexa 7.5mg
Seroquel 700mg
Remeron 30mg
Effexor 37.5


I'm not loving the experience but its the only combination that's working....

[TreeHugger]

I have Fibromyalgia, asthma, and osteoarthritis on top of BP, GAD, and PTSD. So....

Cymbalta 90mg
Seroquel 50mg
Trazadone 300mg

Buspar 10mg 3xday
Naproxin 500mg 2xday

Albuterol 2puffs 3-4xdaily

And we're tinkering right now...might have changes in the next few weeks.

Tree Hugger, does Buspar work for you? My internist made me stay on it forever, because he insisted it was such a great med. Then when I finally got a p-doc, he laughed, and said when it works, it works really well, but it doesn't work for most people. He switched me to benzos, which have worked MUCH better for me.

It works ok. I've only been seeing my pdoc for a short while, so we're still tweeking things. I have noticed however that it's not working nearly as well as when I started taking it...so I'm probably going to have to switch. I call it the "OMG MY HAIR IS ON FIRE!" med.
