Losing my mind so someone with experience with these meds or conditiosn please help. I got the bar exam approaching and after my ex-gf of 4 years left me last July when I failed my second sitting, I've spiraled into dark depression on Lexapro 10 mg and Klonopin 0.5mg until I saw new doc who diagnosed me Bipolar 2 and put me on Lithium Carbonate 900 mg to get me through SSRI Lexapro withdrawals and it most definitely saved my life at the time. Problem now is my ADHD is out of control and the Lexapro use to allow me to control my stimulant medication intake, without Lexapro I go through my ADHD meds too fast. My new doc gave me Dexedrine Spansules 15 mg 3 times daily and I went through 90 in a week and a half and he called me in.
He said he needs to stabliize my mood more because I'm depressed thats why I went through them so quick so he gave me Serequol boy was that a horrible Idea. Once I got up to 300 mg, I almost had serotonin syndrome or some sort of fatal attack where I passed out and my brain was on fire. I immediately ceased and threw out the sereqoul and now it's just lithium again. I then contacted my old doctor and he said he didnt believe I was bipolar 2 and that lexapro was fine, which means i live around toxic people when Im on lexapro or it makes me that irritable. I will admit i'm more personable now and I'm getting more interviews but i cant get consistency or study at all. We've tried lamictal and it didn't do much for me. So these antipsychotic antidepressants dont seem effective and I'm missing Lexapro more and more as hard as it was to come off of and as much as I may have been in my head. I was more confident and had a sense of identity now I don't know wtf is going on and i'm not as sure of myself like i use to be so figures my ex of 4 years left although she was toxic at times (drug abuse and suspected she dablled here and there).
BEfore I go back to lexapro my comfort place or last resort, I wanted to ask you about Luvox or Effexor XR or Prestiq? Lexapro destroyed all depression and anxiety and I could walk in any room and not care what people thought that's why my ex loved me on it, i protected her and made up for her insecurities. she's gone now and I got to pass this test but my anxiety, ocd, and depression is stopping me from studying. My doc just put me on klonopin 0.5 mg twice a day again, but I dont like it because it makes me zombie like and its noticeable. He then sent in Inderal a beta blocker 3 times daily and I think it may be dangerous to mix inderal with stimulants and klonopin?
Basically, what's more effective for studying and functioning purposes: Klonopin VS Inderal FOR OCD, GAD,SAD, Depression.
Antidepressant decision is the hardest one to make, but I researched and these were the only other options: Strattera, Luvox, Effexor XR, Prestiq, or back to Lexapro.
Thank you for your help, I need user experiences with these meds so I can go in my appointment and have an idea. YES I KNOW WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT, but i don't have much family and trying to make something of myself with this last bar sitting and i'm defeated. Thank you for your time and i wish you the best happy holidays!
