[QUOTE="Steely, post: 337875, member: 3301"] Those are the same thoughts I had. It is usually not recommended to be on that high of a dosage of anti-depressants when you are diagnosis with bi-polar. ADs can increase mania, feelings of irritability, anger, etc., in patients with bi-polar. I also would be concerned that your doctor is giving you Ativan. It is highly addictive physically, and once on it, it is very hard to get off of it. (I know this first hand.) Most docs will not recommend that type of medication long term. I think I would seek out a new doctor and get a 2nd opinion. Being self educated is the most important piece though. Research medications and mental illness and know what seems right or wrong before you go to the next doctor. [/QUOTE]
