Hi, I am new here. I am a part of a different forum for alcohol problems. I was searching around and found this one which offers a lot more than just the alcohol problem part of it.
I have been recently diagnosed with bi-polar and anxiety disorder. I am 35 and have been on almost every SSRI out there for 'depression'. It never helped me and a few of them made me feel so 'out of it/high' that I drank more to bring me down.
I am currently on Epival and Tradezone. The combination of the mood stablizer and the anti depressant (not an SSRI) is working very well for me. I am on Epival 250mg x3 a day and Tradezone 50mg x1 a day before bed.
Just thought I would share with you my medication experience.
