Kim~ Help from my RA family

[Guest guest]

Hi Kim...yes, I have heard of Abilify...my pdoc says it is better for

hypermania, but we may end up trying it if the nights (hypomania) do not begin

to improve. I guess there is also an issue with some antidepressants causing

hypomania...yikes, caught between a rock and a hard place as severe depression

is one of the issues I face. My pdoc went with Lamictal because it is supposed

to really help with the depression (once it gets well acclimated in the system

which can take up to 8 weeks) as well as help the hypomania, and it is

weight-neutral which I have to have. I know some folks who take just a bit of

Seroquel at night and do pretty well. I sure hope you get things resolved and

have some sweet sleep & sweet dreams.

I'm sorry you have to go through this stuff. It stinks.

Much love...

Tess
