What Is Causing Mania And Not Able To Concentrate On One Task?
i am currently taking depakote,prozac,xanax,adderall,levoxyl. i still fill alot of mania and at times just down and out for no reason. i have hard time sticking to one task. I would also like to know if taking all of these together is more harmful than helpful.
Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Prozac should never ever be given in a case of mania. The first thing that should be done in a mania is withdrawing anti depressant. You may discuss this issue with your psychiatrist. Further you have not mentioned the doses of the medicines. The medicines that you are on except the prozac are good but its likely that the doses are not sufficient. Get the doses confirmed by your treating psychiatrist. Other options are lithium or oxcarbazapine or quetiapine or olanzapine. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link: bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
Wish you good health, Kind regards Dr. Srikanth Reddy M.D.
