what meds for bipolar type 2 work

leslie53235[i]

I am bipolar 1 with Ptsd. I go really high and really low. I do have some mixed mania,and low level depression, too.

I take meds for everything.lol To keep me in the middle lane.

I am on Lamictal for depression and mixed mania, I am on Buspar for anxiety,and PTSD and Topamax for mixed mania and depression, and Abilify for the extreme mania and psychosis ie;paranoia, suspicion, voices, halucinacions, and snapping, and running. I am a rapid cycler. I still cycle but the meds help it not be so extreme.

I hear that alot of the same meds work for the two different types of bipolar.

So, you have to try different ones to see what works for you. You can research them on different web sites, too. Even the people with the different types of bipolar have symptoms that are more bothersome than others. There are biplolar 1 people who are more angry, than others and bipolar 2s that are more depressed than others. It also depends on your body. So, anyway, I hope this helps.....Thanks,Gypsy

I take the Lamictal (200mg), and Abilify(2.5mg), and topamax(50mg) 2times a day, and the buspar(15) 3 times a day. Its for PTSD. I have a lot of anxiety.
