Charlie's Current Meds

When I'm looking for information about people and how they are living with bipolar disorder I always like to know what meds are working for them.

If you've read our blog at http://crazyinshreveport.blogspot.com/
you know a little about Charlie. He's the father and husband in our family. He is 55 years old and was first diagnosed with bipolar in 1993.

He's currently taking:

Effexor XR 75MG 1 capsule daily
Wellbutrin XL 300MG 1 tablet daily
Clonazepam 0.5MG 3 tablets daily
Equetro 200MG 2 capsules twice daily
Trazodone 300MG 1 tablet at bedtime for sleep
Mirapex 0.5MG 1 tablet at bedtime

Of course his meds have changed many times over the years. This is what happens to be working for him at the present time.

About the above photo: Charlie is not making that funny face because of all his meds. The picture was taken in the Victoria's Secret store during their semi-annual sale this summer. He's making a strange face because he didn't want to know what kind of underwear his daughter wanted to buy. Right after I snapped the picture an employee came up and fussed at us for taking pictures in the store, like I was gonna steal their designs or something.
