[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 310767, member: 2423"] TPaul, I don't know if you're familiar with the medications that treat BiPolar (BP), but your wife is on three antidepressants (Trazodone, Cymbalta and Prozac), and antidepressants tend to fuel mania in people with BiPolar (BP). She's only on one mood stabilizer (Lamictal), which likely is not enough to hold off the mania created by the antidepressants. Most people with BiPolar (BP) need a first-line mood stabilizer (Lithium, Depakote, Lamictal, Trileptal, Tegretol) plus an atypical antipsychotic (Risperdal, Seroquel, Abilify, Geodon, Zyprexa) to reach mood stability. I'm afriad your wife is not going to get there until her medications are straightened out. If her current psychiatrist doesn't "get" the medications that treat BiPolar (BP), please have her evaluated for a second opinion ASAP. [/QUOTE]
