I am about to go see a new Psychiatrist and would like to know what worked for those of you out there with a similar diagnosis. That way I may have some input for the Doc as I like to have some knowledge in what they are prescribing before agreeing to take it as I've been down this road many times before and have taken many things.   I know there's a right combo for me out there somewhere, I just have yet to find it. So I... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/9234/9817/meds-bipolar http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/9234/9352/prozac-er-bpd-xr Wed, 09 May 2007 17:07:00 -0400 CA 2 NJ Hello again. I have been here a lot in the past few weeks as I've been trying to find that magic combo to help me with my Bipolar I (Mixed, Agitated Episodes with Ultra-Rapid Cycling), Borderline Personality Disorder, Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.   I am currently going off of the Effexor as I could only tolerate for 3 weeks as every day I am in bed longer than I was the day before.... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/9234/9352/prozac-er-bpd-xr http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/9234/9144/xr-day-isnt-day Wed, 02 May 2007 11:30:00 -0400 CA 2 NJ Hello all.

I am new to taking Effexor XR and Depakote ER and have been experimenting a little with the time of day I take my doses. I have only been on these meds for about a week now.   I am currently only taking 37.5mg of Effexor XR with breakfast and 750mg Depakote ER about 2 hours before bed. I originally took the Effexor with dinner but found myself awake in the middle of the night. I find myself being tired and wanting to... http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/c/9234/8959/time-day-xr-er
