[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 427095, member: 84"] Hello and welcome. I thought I replied.......but evidently it didn't go through. Our family doesn't do well with prozac.........to put it kindly. Lamactil (I probably spelled it wrong today) IS good, but you have to be patient while the correct dose for you is worked out. What sort of issues are you having? Are you still cycling often even while on medications? Dealing with side effects? You will still cycle to some degree on medications. medications don't fix it, they help the condition to improve. Some medications work better with some people more than they do with other people due to body chemistry. Sometimes it can take a while for docs to work out what will work best for you. Your feed back during the process is very valuable. My youngest did well on Lamactil, ambilify, and trileptol. She required a mood stabilizer because without it she was all over the place...... Education is the key to success with any illness. Bipolar is just as much an illness as diabetes, and it helps to look at it that way. Educate yourself as much as you can, actively participate in the treatment program your docs have laid out for you, and always take your medications. Biggest mistake most bipolar people make is that they do well on medications and think they're ok to do without them.......only to crash and burn and have to start over again. Have doctor re evaluation your medications. Odds are it's the prozac making you tired as lamactil doesn't really do that. Hugs [/QUOTE]
