Hello Mr. lybrate-user, it's really tough to be in a situation which you are going through, would you be able to specify how many manic or hypomanic episodes have you had previously. There are certainly more drugs in our kitty as psychosurgery or dbt are not as evolved yet to address bipolar depression, ect & rtms are also available non invasive options. Don't lose hope, you may definitely fight this out.

Dear Parveen,
It is nice to know that you don't have any further episode with regular oxcarbazepine. As age advances, clonazepam and lorazepam (ativan) interferes with your memory and does not give any added benefits for your mood. So please reduce one by one slowly. Start with ativan 0.5 mg for 2 weeks and stop. Then clonazepam also 0.5 mg for 2 weeks and stop. You can use etizolam if anxiety or sleep becomes a problem temporarily for next 1 month. Please continue your mood stabilisers.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
From what you have written, it not clear what you are referring to at all. Please write what is the TSH level now or very recent and what is the dose of Thyroxine being taken. What you have stated is absolutely confusing. There is no mention of TSH any whereor the actual dose of the drug. Thanks.

Most likely you are having post traumatic epilepsy. Based on the ct/ mri brain and eeg reports usually neurologist will plan the treatment. As you are mentioning some "little convulsions" which have to be discussed in detail with neurologist and treatment will be planned accordingly.

Hello lybrate-user.
There will always be a risk.
And it is better to avoid such activities especially in absence of others.
It is not possible to predict it will happen or not or when.

Dear Zeeshan,
Nice to know that you feel better with lithium and lamotrigine.
Lithium is time tested effective tablet for bipolar disorder, especially for hypomania.
Constipation is NOT a side effect of lithium. On the other hand, lithium being a salt causes loose motions in few persons. Find other causes for constipation and settle them continuing lithium.
Hair fall is due to Depakote that you have taken before one month. NOT due to lithium. It will settle down by itself. Otherw...more
