Question about wifes meds.

Howdy all this is my first post here. I will fill out all the fun stuff on the greetings thread.

My wife within the last 8 months has been diagnosed with Bipolar 2, Panic disorder, Social Anxiety w/agoraphobia, and chronic PTSD.

her current meds.
100mg Lamictal 2x's a day
1mg Klonopin 3x's a day
10mg Baclofen 3x's a day
100mg Zoloft 1 a day
5mg Abilify 1 a day.

Hello, Buckyxj,

As you know, it takes a number of combination of drugs to treat a variety of disorders. If you and /or she are concerned, please seek her health care providers' advice for we cannot do this for you. This is not a medical advice BB.

Hope she improves.

I second Siri, Buckyxj. Discuss her medications with her physician...better yet, go to the next appointment with her and discuss them together with the doctor.

Wish you and wife the best.
