Guest guest Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I have struggled most of my life with mild depression. Coinciding with my menstrual cycles. After the birth of my children this problem became SEVERELY worse!! I was finally tired of being told to " snap out of it " and seeked psychiatric help. I was diagnosed with bi-polar and prescribed several medications. The combination that seems to work is 30mg of Lexapro and 400mg of Tegretol. Since this treatment began my mental clarity is clear and my stress level has decreased. However, I have gained about 30lbs., eat almost constantly and have little energy. To this I have begun taking a multi vitamin, super B complex, fish oil, and just this week added Mangosteen juice. I still have mild mood swings monthly and would like to know if there is something I can do to have my " normal " days everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
