It is more for the manic side of the illness. I see you're starting Lamictal and Tegretol, and both especially Lamictal are good for the depressive side. They even offered me assistance when I had health insurance but still found it to be a financial hardship. The doctor office had to submit the application paperwork directly and they would send a 3 month supply for free. It was a life saver at that point in my life, literally.

Check it out--certainly worth a try. Other than a tremor that went away after discontinuing the med , it worked really well for controlling mania and psychosis. It even brought me out of social isolation and helped me feel more "normal" in the world. I go back to Geodon if my psychotic symptoms return, but normally regular mood stabilizers keep me in balance.

That's the only reason I went off of it. I gained about 20 pounds in a month and my prolactin levels went up. Not too good for a guy. Wyndrake Member 8 years on site posts Zyprexa Olanzapine worked very well for my symptoms but I had bad side effect and couldn't sleep after taking it, despite that it is supposed to be sedating Risperdal gave me weird side effects, but I don't remember how effective it was. It made me lactate and stop getting my period which really freaked me out, I thought I was pregnant and even got a test done at the doctors office!

When I told my pdoc about it, he said it was a side effect of Risperdal. I've also been on Haldol but I would not recommend that medication to anyone!

I got what you meant. As someone mentioned try getting approved for patient assistance. I am on that program for abilify and seroquel. You apply to the drug maker and include the top copy of your tax return. I filled out the paperwork and my doc's office handled the rest. When I received approval, the meds were sent to the office for me to pick up. I am mostly hypomania to mania, with very little depression Right now with no meds I drink to regain my sanity I am thinking I need an antianxiety medication again, also.

Unfortunately finding the right medication involves trial and error, but once you find the right medication, it's worth it! WordGirl Member 9 years on site 26 posts Thanks I just left the Dr.

Next week and then well see what they try. This is an extremely supportive group and you will meet many new friends with the same issues you deal with. As for medication there are soooo many options. I have been through alot of them myself and failed due to one side effect or another. I currently take Depakote ER along with Lithium. I have luckily been stable now since I started the Lithium a few months ago.

I feel like I am almost back to my old self again. It is possible to regain stability it just takes time and as Jessy said trial and error.
