Lamictal with zoloft

Bipolar disorder is one beast where what some may consider 'selfishness' or 'laziness' is anything but. You keep on doing whatever you have to, James, for your health and for your family. I'm sure I've said it before and I'll say it again, your fans aren't going anywhere. Sorry about the power hit to your open docs. I hate that. Ditto for the meds.
After trouble with Geodon, and being prescribed Zoloft solo, my wife is currently extremely stable on Zoloft as the anti-depressant and Lamictal as the stabilizer after tweaking the dosages and sticking with Pfizer's brand rather than generic for the Zoloft. Not perfect, energy draining side-effects, but very, very stable. From outside you *may* see 'moody' or 'a bit odd' but not 'nuts'. She's held a highly technical office job for 11 years and been with me for 10, the first four years were untreated and she self-contained in public but let loose in private. Lithium would be fantastic if not for the necessary periodic blood tests because, as luck would have it -- needles trip her trigger for a panic attack which sends her into a bipolar (II) episode.
Take care, James. For every one of us who comments, there's a legion of lurkers thinking similar thoughts. You're held in the highest esteem.

what you need is Zoloft, and a psychiatrist. None of these new age feminazis, but a REAL one with insight into the workings of the criminal mind.

Kat needs some medication or something to chill the hell out, like Zoloft so she's not in her own head some damm much and doesn't crash so far down..

Okay, I'm depressed after reading about depression. Just kidding.
Most people still do not seek help until it is too late.
I had a boss once who was on medication Zoloft, and then took himself off without consulting his doctor. Well, a few days later he shot and killed two of his partners in my office. Luckily, I was not there. True story.
He was the nicest guy, too. You just never know.
Good job on the story.

... crap has piled upon crap.
It appears my 16 year old Daughter has inherited my bi-polar condition after being misdiagnosed as depressive and freaking out on the drugs they gave her. She is on Lamictal now which is helping yet she is still struggling plus starting her junior year in High School. It doesn't help the HS a block and a half away is being torn down this year so she has to drive herself and her brother (he is an incoming freshman) to a new school several miles away ... at 5:45 am every morning.
She has inherited my fucked-up genes. Today was really bad for her. When she came home I held her while we both cried ... because I have felt what she has gone through and I can't honestly tell her things will get better ... and she is only 16 FFS! I am hoping the increase in the dose of Lamictal will kick in soon. We have to hope.
As for me ~ I have been diagnosed with kidney stones to add to the list of freaking physical woes which I go back into see the Urologist on September 26th. They weren't even looking for the damn things when they did a series of ultrasounds ... yet there they were. I have had bladder issues since I was seven, but nothing like this.
As for the rest ... I wake up every single morning in intense pain because nothing seems to be able to neutralize the pain in my feet. Some mornings I contemplate cutting them both off it hurts so much. As that would most likely cause my death ... I find the idea attractive.
E-mails with long-time friends inquiring into my well-being have gone unanswered as have other comments here on Literotica ... because I haven't known what to say really. I didn't want to share this, but I've grown so damn tired.
I haven't written anything worthwhile in forever.
I can tell you so much about the Battle of Timor ... though that is for a story I doubt anyone will ever read.
There is so much I want to do with 'Life as a New Hire' as well as so many other stories here and elsewhere ... yet the words remain trapped in my head - prisoners to my madness.
That is all.

So he's going to make the same mistake again, both female love interest are exactly the same. If he takes merilee back not only is he willingly cuckolding himself he's asking to be dumped again. He works and works at a relationship but as soon as someone better comes along he gets ditched. No confident self respecting man such as the protagonist would take that shit 3 times and not be weary. Yes people make mistakes but you ever hear the saying once bitten, twice shy?
You're making duke turn from an intersting strongman to a weak passive one by letting these women seemingly walk all over him. I'm not saying he should crucify merilee but his opinion of women in general has to be at a low point. Yet he doesn't seem like that actually far from it, almost as if he was on zoloft. He should be cursing to the heavens at his luck not wracking his brain over an ex.
