Dr.kira stein i asked about easing symptoms of mixed mania you said see a psychiatrist and take meds. i do both but am resistant to so many meds.

Other med options: Dear laura, medication resistance is a very frustrating condition, but usually there is a solution that has not het been tried. Again, talk with your psychiatrist, or get a second opinion at a university-based mood clinic, where the most cutting-edge treatments are available. Brain stimulation techniques may be considered, as well, if appropriate. Sincerely, kira stein m.

More info needed: Mixed mania can be quite difficult to treat. My favorite combo has become tegretol and lithium along with twice a day Fanapt (iloperidone) at a dose of 8 mg PO bid ( gradually building up from the starter packets your psychiatrist likely has available. I don't know what meds you have tried, but i hope this helps.
