hey all,

i was diagnosed with BPD by a psychiatrist a year ago, but i had been taking medication for 4 years before that. i started seeing another doctor and he not only doesnt think i have bpd, but also thinks i might have bipolar instead. so he upped the dosages on my regular meds and added lithium to the mix.

right now the lineup is: 200mg lamictal, 10mg abilify, 150mg zoloft, 1/2 an ativan only allowed when i have a serious breakdown, 20mg ritalin. just added 600mg of lithium like i mentioned.

i feel like im taking SO MANY medications already, and im nervous about adding yet another one- and a heavy one at that. im not seeking medical advice of course, but can anyone tell me their experiences on these medications? how did it impact you? what were the side effects for you? thanks in advance!
