I'm keeping this journal to see if my Strattera is working as an anti -depressant as well as for attention deficit.  I'm defintitely doing a whole lot better ever since I've been takingAbilify, Lamictal and Campral.  90 days ago I decided to stop drinking so the doc prescribed the Campral.  My new doctor was wondering why I barely take the Campral I just don't feel like I need it.  Anyways since taking Abilify i noticed my Manic attacks are few and far between.  And the Lamictal I think helps for my crying attacks.  I was drinking daily for about 2 years straight.  Huh all of a sudden it comes to me and my doc I've been self medicating which lots of BP people do as well.  So once I finally stopped that self medicating I was having manic and cring attacks fast cycling I think.  But I don't really know how I am off my meds.  And not drinking I wonder if I would freak out.  I'm in the process of applying for SSI I would never be able to afford all my Meds once my insurance runs out. Until when ever
