Is it bad to take two mood stabilizers at once? One being Topiramate and the other Abilify? (bipolar)?

I explained my situation much more thoroughly when I asked this question on a depression forum but since there's not all that much space here I'll just leave it to the absolute basics: I'm 21 and have been dealing with debilitating depression and anxiety for the last 8 years of my life. They've made it so that it is an extreme chore to do even the simplest tasks as well as made it next to impossible to leave the house due to how bad my social anxiety/panic attacks get. Over the last 8 years I've been on 14 different medications to treat these two issues, all of which have been either an anti-depressant or an anti-psychotic. Not a single one out of those 14 meds has done anything whatsoever to treat or reduce either issue; I get the bad side effects but nothing else.My doctor is now suggesting MAOIs (another anti-depressant) as a "last resort" medication since nothing else has worked, but considering how dangerous they are and how little other anti-depressants have helped, I feel like there's got to be a different or better way.If anyone has any experience with treating either depression or anxiety of their own or if anyone knows anything about pharmaceuticals or other treatments, I'd love to hear your input.These are the medications I have already been prescribed (and found unhelpful); some were taken simultaneously to augment each other.Anti-depressants: Zoloft, Paxil, Lexapro, Prozac, Elavil, Wellbutrin, Effexor, Cymbalta and LithiumAnti-psychotics: Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Abilify and GeodonI feel I should also mention the non-prescription drug treatments I've tried as well over the years...these include herbal treatments, light therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, St. John's Wort, 5-HTP, exercising daily and supplements like omega-3, vitamin B and so on.Again, if anyone has any ideas or advice to offer, it would be much appreciated.



What other treatments are there for severe depression/anxiety other than anti-depressants and anti-psychotics?

I'm on Geodon now, but I'm starting to have spasms. My head turns on its own over and over again and I can't stop it. I refuse to take anything that will make me gain any more weight. I was first on Risperdol/Risperidone and I went from being 96 lbs to 170 lbs in a month or two. I wasn't able to lose any weight until I was on a weight neutral drug, and it was barely any weight at all. I've got depression and I eat when I'm depressed, I tried wellbutrin, which is a anti-depressant that helps some people lose weight but it made me SUPER angry all the time. Someone already suggested abilify, but I read that it causes weight gain and motor tics in some. And with me it seems like if a serious side effect can happen, it will happen.Also, I'm not interested in going off meds or alternative medicines. That would be the worst thing for me. The meds help.



Is there an anti-psychotic that doesn't cause weight gain and muscle spasms and tics?

About 2 years ago I started loosing it. I have been to 3 or 4 therapists in the past, I didn't really feel like I was getting anywhere with them. I had been obviously depressed and I had been hearing voices in my head. Like this woman Talking to me named Jackie. An alter ego? no clue, Sometimes it seems like I become her, I guess that is the best way I can describe it. The therapists had Prescribed me to the medications Abilify and Wellbutrin. I didn't like taking them at all. and I have been off them for a couple months. I don't even know exactly what those medications were for.Thing have gotten better with the depression. I don't get as depressed anymore... but sometimes... I just go insane. I really feel like I want to die because all the things spinning around in my head. I try to avoid people or keep my cool when I'm having a episode. I usually just go to sleep, I sleep all the time and sometimes it feels like my dreams are so real I don't know what is real and what isn't. I live with my boyfriend, we are planning to get married. I live a few states away from my family. My boyfriend knew that I had issues but he loves me anyway. Lately he has been getting really scared for me. He says the Episodes are becoming more frequent and he doesn't know how much longer he can handle me becoming completely disoriented. Like sometimes I feel like... everything I know was a lie, that it's all a set up. I don't know I'm constantly trying to calm myself down and tell myself how rediculous that sounds. It's like I'm battling myself, trying to tell myself I'm fine and there's nothing wrong with me, but everything is so overwhelming. I can't explain everything, but I know something needs to be done.He told me I should take my medication. He told me I was crazy. I fear more than anything that my family will know how I completely loose it sometimes. My boyfriend is the only one I've really told. He knows more than anyone and still he really doesn't know much of it. I just am so lost I don't know what to do. I don't want to hurt him anymore. He is scared for me and he doesn't know what to do. He would never force me to talk my medication, but I'm afraid to, and what happens when I run out? We are in a really bad money situation right now and cannot afford it. (bad car wreck, Laid off from job, ect.) also I certainly can't afford to see another therapist. I'm Just so Scared of everything. I really don't know what to do.Maybe this was a horrible idea even posting this.



What is wrong with me? What can I do? Should take my Medication again?

my parents were never married but stayed together until I was about 13, and stopped living in the same house. They told me this, that they didnt get along and were separating, and I kept a straight face when they told me this but then that night I cried for about 30min and felt a little sad, then never felt too bad anytime after that. I also changed schools from 2nd to 3rd grade, and had decent friends at both schools, then I changed schools from 5th grade to 6th, and only had conversational friends until 10th grade where I had friends who I hung out with once a week and talked with often for 6months then they dropped me and havent had friends since. I have conversational friends but I am kind of a shy person so I am often alone. Through all of these things and my dad yelling at me during sports because I sucked at baseball, and having sex 3 times with people i know but havent been in relationships with have all been factors in giving me clinical depression. 4 months ago or so, I was in speech class and we had to give a speech on basically something we have that is unique like a disease, critcal experience in our life, or something like that. I had no clue what to do and I never really thought about my mental process until then but I knew something was wrong with me, as I had no energy to do anything, don't have any friends except for my cousins i hang out with once or twice a month, don't feel happy about anything, don't feel conscious, alive, like I am dreaming, nothing is real, and more so I told the class in a speech I have depersonalization, which I thought I might have because things weren't real to me, and my teacher called my mom, told her I have a problem, got me into counseling, and medication, and here i am a 18 year old in july, a senior in high school and going to a 4 year college 2 hours away. I have dropped counseling because I can't afford much and didn't see it doing much. I have been seeing a Dr. once a month, trying different medications like aderol, remeron, wellbutrin, which only got rid of my headaches and a gave me a little energy. I also have tried abilify but it made me very very hot and extremely dizzy so I stopped. Now I stopped all medications and haven't seen much of a change, not using them. But I realized they have made me numb. I know that is their purpose, but I want to feel happy, I don't know my personality, so I don't know what I like really, but I want to feel happy and those drugs/medications won't do. I don't know what to do. I am going to Africa for 2months for vacation and won't be bringing any medication, I am 6 foot, 150 and found that excercising helps a little with coming into reality and not eating junk food all day. But I have not experimeneted with that much as I don't like to work out and the drugs made me dizzy when I excercised, so I didn't excercise when taking them. I have been doing 20 pushups like every 3 days lately and have found a little help with consciousness. I also have played twice basketball which I loved to play as a kid, and doing that may have brung a little joy to my life. But now I want to do whatever it takes to feel like i am experiencing life, feeling happy, or sad when something happens to me. I don't really care about anything, unless someone died or something then I would feel sad, or when someone tells me I have no friends I feel sad even though I have no friends except for my cousins, who I have been hanging out with lately. I have thought of using like ecstasy or paxil, but don't really know what those do exactly. Can someone please tell me how I can find my personality, start caring about people, and most importantly feel like i am experiencing life, alive, and feel happy, please, please, please, help. Any and all comments are welcome, thanks

abilify question!! what are the pros and cons of taking abilify once a week?

I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety four years ago when I was 16. I was immediately placed on Lexapro and Klonopin. About nine months later I suffered my first attempt at suicide. I tried twice more to kill myself over the next couple of months after that.Following my suicide attempts, I was placed on numerous different medications (Zoloft, Paxil, Wellbutrin, Lithium, Depakote, Ativan, Buspar, Pristiq, Zyprexa, Geodon, Abilify, Cymbalta, Lamictal, etc.) and given diagnoses of Bipolar disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder.Within two years I had become an alcoholic in attempts to self-medicate.I feel as though I once had a bright future, but because of all of these medications, I now have nothing.Depression and anxiety consume me each day. I feel stuck. Hopeless. Like I've lost my mind.What do you do when you feel "beyond repair"?



What do you do when you don't want to live but you don't want to die?

Ok, Long story but I'll try to make this quick. I was diagnosed with severe depression over two years ago and I've only gotten worse. Since then I've been diagnosed with adhd, learning disorders (nos), agoraphobia and depression w/ psychotic features b/c i get panic attacks in crowds and began to hear voices outside of my head. I've had some doctors also (not officially) diagnose me schizophrenic, bipolar and ptsd. Right now I'm on 300mg of effexor xr, have been for a year now and it does not work at all, just makes me sleep. I can sleep for up to 72 hrs without waking up. b/c of that sometimes i miss doses and end up having really vivid nightmares and following psychotic episodes. (crying, mania, paranoia, unresponsiveness, etc.) So recently I went to the er and they wanted to start tapering me off my effexor to 225 and they want to add 25mg of Lamictal & 40mg of Geodon daily. My doc failed to tell me all the side effects of these medicines, so now im freaked out. Sudden death? GAH! they're really pushing to hospitalize me too, but im no harm to myself or others. They claim they just want to watch me for side effects b/c my effexor withdrawal will be serious. I've been on so many meds (prozac, lexapro, vyvanse, methylphenidate/ritalin, risperdal, wellbutrin, abilify,..... every single one gave me serious side effects.) What do you think, are they overmedicating me or should I take the leap? I hate to think that my depression is working towards 3 years of ruining my life. (I'm only 19 btw.) Thanks.



I need a second opinion on my new psych drugs?

I know a twelve year old kid, that has had several problems. It started about one year ago, march 9. He started kicking shoes, throwing things, and was very angry. He did not break anything. He was very angry and irritable. He sad he was so nervous he could not sit still. He heard his name being called from the outside of his head. He heard "kill" inside his head. He had racing thoughts. He did not feel any peace or joy, but he felt nervous and angry. He took "small" rages. When I mean small, he was very aggressive but did not break or ruin anything. The next day (3/10/09) he was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. He was put on Seroquel 50, then 100 milligrams. He and his family were not happy with this hospital and they signed him out. Around March 24, 2009 he went to another Psychiatric Institute & Clinic. He was in there almost 3 weeks. He was put on the medication called Abilify. This helped for a little while. He rode it out adding other medications with it. He finally could not take it, he went goofy again. So, he went to see his therapist and she said you need to go to a Psychiatric Center now. So, he did and he was there six days. They took him off of the Abilify and added Seroquel 25 MG, Risperdal 1 MG, and Wellbutrin 75MG. They helped for about a week or 2. They quit working. He was then put on Seroquel XR 50 MG. They droped regular Seroquel and Risperal. They did keep the Wellbutrin. He did well almost "normal" again. Then he fell apart again. Taking rages, hearing his name, having racing thoughts (which I forgot, he had from day one of his life). He says there is this women watching him in a red shirt and black pants. She is in a cloud. His therapist asked can you make her go away, he tried and it did not. So, they are upping the Seroquel XR to 75 MG. Do you know what type of mental illness he could have? His Uncle has been diagnosed Paranoid Schizophrenic. He is on Clozaril. It has really helped him. His father has a mental illness, but self medicates and has no diagnosis. His father now resides in Canada. We have had several ideas from Doctors but no official diagnosis. Do you have any idea what could be wrong or any good hospitals that you reccomend.THANK YOU, IN ADVANCE



What type of illness or schizophrenia could this be?

My mind can simply not handle stress. I was out of school for 2 1/2 months (homebound) for major depression.So, I started back 2 weeks ago, only to be accompanied by mild to moderate anxiety, which isn't unusual. When I started back, I immediately started having dreams about the devil, but payed no attention. Yesterday, in the middle of class, I looked around, and no-one was there anymore. I turned forward to find a man with a large black robe, black eyes, and blonde hair. He came towards me with his hands reached out, and I started breathing heavily. Then looked around to find my whole class returned and the teacher continuing with the lesson, as if nothing ever happened. I pulled it off as if I was fine, and no-one even noticed. Then I had a dream, where these voices told me not to go to school tomorrow. So today I am home, because I was scared s h i t l e s s about going back. Is this happening because this is too stressful for me?I feel terrible that I can't deal with these things, because I desperately want to lead a normal life. My intelligence is highly above normal, but it no longer shows. I can't concentrate enough to absorb anything. I used to be a wild, hilarious, popular kid, but now I am very quite and mostly keep to myself.My meds:Morning:Vyvanse (ADHD)ProzacWellbutrinNight:Sonata (Insomnia)AbilifyI don't know what to do anymore. If you took the time to read this. Thank you. It means a lot to me that you care enough to help me out.Thanks.



I have bipolar disorder I, I'm 15, and school is way to stressful for me. I can't do it anymore.?

Please tell me what you think?I have been having pain everyday of my life for the last 4 years. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but I think that is a diagnosis they slapped on me because they had no clue what was going on. I have overall body pain just about every day. BUt I have Severe back pain, wrist pain and my ankles an knees sometimes hurt. Also my knees pop like crazy. I have SEVERE SEVERE SEVERE FATIGUE. I have also been diagnosed with a B12 deficiency and low thyroid. I take meds for these and they are under control. I also take nuvigal for my fatigue it helps me from falling asleep but does not help the fatigue one bit. I have had MRI's of my back and an xray of my wrist nothing major showing. My back MRI showed mild scoliosis, degenerative arthritis, a bulging disk that has not changed since 05', and fluid around my lower spinal cord (unexplained). I am also on Wellbutrin and Abilify for depression and currently taking lyrica. Any thoughts please put them. I am willing to listen to anything at this point. PLEASE PLEASE HELPTHANK YOU DR. HOUSE
