human
I am bi polar have been since 1987 have been treated by about 3 doctors in the past 26 years The phychaiatirst I am with now and have been with for 15 years or so has me on carbamazepine 200 2 a day and citalopram hbr 20 mg 2 a day. I am bottomed out I have never been any worse than I have been the4 past few weeks. When I ask about a change he wants to up this medication I have been on this 3 years and nothing has ever worked this long at a time. I get immuned to it or something. I would like someone with a fresh look. I think we are in a rut. I have blue cross blue shield insurace and I also have a sleep problem I take colozapam, seroquel, tramadol, and tizandine a muscle relaxer at night it is for my back. the sleeping is going well, but during the day i could care less if I live or die, I work to keep from doing something to hurt myself I need someone quick to help me. I don;t like the ideal of going on the internet looking for a doctor to treat a mental illness, but i am kind of at loose ends. I work daily run my own business, and live a full live, but it is a very unhappy one right now and i do know what depression is i have been there way to many times help needed not talking or phschology been down that road for 20 years talked out just need right meds.

HIThanks for using healthcare magicIn think, in your case, you should go for lithium or valproate as a mood stabilizer. That would help to keep you mood in good shape and help maintaining the life style. You can also try to change your life style by following some life style modification tips with help of psychologist. In antidepressant, there is no need to change it.Thanks
