After taking lithium for about 6 months, i had a depressive episode. Choosing between taking more lithium (living in the toilet) and trying lamotrigine, i decided to try the second out. My question is, if any of you take only antipsychotics and lamotrigine as a stabilizer? I want to proceed with small doses of Quatiapine/Seroquel and Olanzapine and go to 200 mg L.
Am i enough save against hypomania, which i didn’t have for 4 years. I would like to hear about your experience, i would be thankful for every comment on this topic.

So, I am wondering if some of you out there have experience in this field of work. Is this and i mean especially interpreter to stressful job to ménage having this disorder?
My idea is to do only couple of hours in a week (interpreter) as second income, because i have a part time job which doesn’t bring much to the table.
I would like to read about your experiences, for every comment i am thankful. And no English is not the first language on my list. 😀

Hallo, I was just wondering if any of you had similar experiences:

After years on valproate as a mood stabilizer i changed to lithium (I take 625 mg daily since February). I also take Quetiapin 75 mg a day and Olanzapine 2,5 mg, which went a month ago from 5 mg i took for years. After a great reaction to a lithium treatment, i thought this would be a great opportunity to get rid of Olanzapine all together.
My doctor was fine with it.
Now i feel so close to a depression and everything i worked for the past year is falling apart.

Any thoughts?
