OK long story short I was on Vyvanse, Dexedrine, Lexapro, Lamical and Trileptal for years. I do not have a diagnosed diagnosis but I have traits of borderline personality disorder, ADHD, anxiety, OCD and depression. They all kind of link together anyway. My psychiatrist said I’m not bipolar I’m not schizophrenic but I do have some type of mood disorder he said he doesn’t know what exactly is and a huge majority of people have mood disorders that can never be officially diagnosed. A while ago I tapered off all my meds(except the amphetamines) to see how I would do and I was fine until the Lexapro I started getting really bad anxiety I started back on lexapro and it pretty much went away. But I formed a new problem which is extreme compulsiveness. And lots of drug seeking behavior. I recently started Abilify and it seemed to help a little but I can’t shake this compulsiveness I have. I avoid situations I procrastinate I don’t want to be around my family all I want to do is research how to get better and take drug combos to feel a certain way that I feel like I need to feel if that makes sense. Part of me is thinking maybe I should just talk to my doctor and go back on my original stack of the Lamical and Trileptal as the augmented drugs with Lexapro. First off I don’t understand why he prescribed both of them if they are both anticonvulsants. Second what role do the anticonvulsants play that antipsychotics do not? What seems better for my symptoms?
