[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 667298, member: 1963"] OK, first of all, FIRE YOUR SHRINK! Not only that, file a complaint against him with the regulatory body. You need to be tapered off your medications, ie: medication wash, and started on proper medications for your condition. This may require a short hospitalization, which in all honesty, might be a good idea in general, if just to get a baseline. Your children are old enough to do without you for a few days. You MUST be on at least one mood stabilizer, on a good antipsychotic (Saphris might not be it for you), and ONLY when you are stable on that cocktail, should introducing a low dose of an antidepressant be considered. With your tendency to run manic, an AD might not be a good idea at all. In fact, properly medicated, you might not NEED an antidepressant, or might do better on an older tricyclic antidepressant. Get a new doctor and get feeling better. You HAVE to take control of your health and your illness. Did this shrink run a liver panel to determine if Tegretol was harming your liver? Pulling you off of it because of "mights" was irresponsible. He should be running routine blood tests, and pulling someone who is as floridly BPI as you are off of mood stabilizers entirely is flat out malpractice. [/QUOTE]
