Bipolar Disorde
"First  I want to thank you all for your helpful reviews. It helped me to do my own research so I can suggest my choice of treatment to my psychiatrist, rather than just trusting the one he suggests. After being diagnosed bipolar 2, he suggested another med. I strongly advocated for Lamictal. I tapered up to 200mg, on a conservative schedule. I&#039;ve had good results over the past 9 months. It definitely has lowered the instances of hypomania, or at least deescalated the intensity. It&#039;s done little to address the depression or anxiety, so we&#039;ve agreed to add anti-depressant. Again, he suggested Cymbalta, which I opposed due to the all the information regarding withdrawal syndrome. We agreed on a low dose of Prozac which is going well so far."
