I have searched the internet for any information my specific ‘cocktail’ of medications, and haven’t found anything yet. Am wondering if anyone has or is taking the same combinations and if they helped. I have battled for a few years with mental illness and have been diagnosed and prescribed endless things. I was originally diagnosed GAD, ADHD, Panic Disorder, and Depression. I was put on Ativan (only to take when having or about to have a panic attack), Pristiq 100 mg, and Biphentin. The Biphentin made me super high and I was using it recreationally, so I got switched to Adderall which made me crazy, and finally Vyvanse which I love (on 70 + 30 a day). After a couple of years of psych appointments and circumstances - I was diagnosed a year ago with Bipolar II. I was put on Lamotrigine and Abilify. As of yesterday I had my final and official diagnosis of tri-diagnosis: Bi-Polar II, Borderline Personality Disorder &amp; ADHD - the depression, panic and anxiety all being withdrawn as diagnosis’ and considered symptoms of the three primary disorders aforementioned. I have struggled for ten years (I’m 25), with addicition and reckless behaviours (etc, etc) as well as self-harming behaviours, suicidal thoughts, threats and tendencies and emotional issues. I am considered very high functioning, which is why they say it took so long to properly diagnose me. I am a full time student (4th year finance), have started my own accounting company and am the controller of a big company. Apparently because of my ability to understand social cues and adapt to situations, it was hard for Doctors to properly analyze me. But my hospital records, event triggering overreactions and upbringing were what ultimately lead them to the BPD, and my non-event triggering mood swings were what lead them to Bi-Polar II.  

Anyways, long story short (wanted to give some background), I HATED abilify - quit it cold turkey (don’t do it), because it didn’t seem to affect me and I gained weight. And as is routine with BPD, I threw the baby out with the bath water (stopped all other medication too just because I was over the side effects and I was tired of feeling like a test subject). 

I am now back fighting, and am on:

- Pristiq 150 
- Vyvanse 100
- Lamotrigine 200
- Latuda 40
- Ativan (if needed, which is like once a month)
- Melatonin (to sleep) 

Am wondering if anyone has been or is on a similar combination. If anyone has had similar experiences/diagnosis’ as me. And what people would recommend changing...

Also am wondering about the possibility of sleeping pills as I suffer from insomnia. Would anyone recommend adding them to my current cocktail, would a Doctor even prescribe? 

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
