Personality Disorders Support Group

i got started onlexapro. they seem to be doing the trick. my highs and lows arent peaks and valleys anymore. i dont slam up and down. i can feel them coming and i am able to put coping skills in place and not be overwhelmed. instead mountains. i have more gentle slopes to work with.

It took me years to get the right med combo. Some worked for awhile but wore off and had to be tweaked. It's a constant struggle to get and keep the right cocktail. Right now I am on Wellbutrin, Abilify, Prozac, and Topamax. I have BP and BPD. I feel pretty stable with the BP right now though I still have crying spells but my BPD is in full force because I need DBT - they don't offer it where I live so I ordered a book about it. Topamax helps with some of the irrational thoughts but I need therapy too. Meds alone won't fix me.

i'm on topamax. it works pretty well. :)

im on a mood stabalizer 'sodium valperate' and matazapine which is an anti depressant. they make me eat far too much, so have put on alot of weight *Which makes me feel more depressed* as i worked hard to keep my weight where i liked it. i sleep too on them. It does take time to find the right medication, because sometimes no tablets with help with some BPDs as its more a behave problem. But others they work wonders for ... also trial and error, just stick with it hun! good luck :)

It took me ages to find the right meds cause I'm sensitive to heaps of medication and got really bad side effects...I felt like a labrat for awhile, they will be trying me on Cymbalta soon when it becomes available out here in OZ and they have taken me off avanza which gave me shocking weight gain
