I am currently taking what I feel to be quite a lot of medication, and it still seems to have very little effect on my episodes. They still seem to be getting worse and worse and I really don't want to tell my pdoc because I don't want to take more meds.

Current meds.

Lithium 900mg
depakote 2000mg
topomax 200mg
risperdal 6mg
cymbalta 60mg
ativan 1.5mg

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

wow, that is a lot of medication....My suggestion would be to change doctors or at least get a second opinion. That seems like an awful lot. You should be able to get away with just a mood stabilizer. Which type of bipolar have you been diagnosed with?
