The Happiness Cocktail

So I'm still on a roll and haven't quit my meds... Gold star for me.  But damn if I don't have days where I think about it.  The whole being a guinea pig thing and trying 973 different combinations of drugs gets old after a while. 

As of Tuesday, I'm on a new combination.  The Happiness Cocktail that is being prescribed to me still includes wellbutrin, a dose at which I'm maxed out on; xanax as needed; lithium, and now another antidepressent called Vybriid. 

I feel like I should be mixing all of those in a smoothie or something... it's just weird.  I hate taking all these pills, but the thought of not taking them scares me to death... I can't risk a manic or a super depressed phase...In a perfect world if the scale was 1 to 10, 1 being suicidal and 10 being whoa manic, I would want to be a 6.  I'd like to be balanced with a hint of mania...does that make sense?

Oh well we'll see how this one turns out and go from there...one pill at a time.
