Hi,

Last few days I've been feeling not myself lately. I personally believe that it's because I've been pick and choosing what medication i take.

I was wanting to see if anyone takes these medications either together or separately, and how it effects your bpd.

I'm taking depakote, seroquel, amitripylne.

I just want to let you know I read your post.

It's best to take your medications as prescribed rather than messing around with them.

Dissociation is also a symptom of BPD. I don't think any medication helps with this. I learned how to ground myself in the here and now, and how to tolerate negative emotions, and that helped decrease my dissociation symptoms. I still have some episodes when I'm very, very upset but not nearly as often as i used to.

Best of luck to you! I hope things have improved since you posted.

I agree you should take your medication as prescribed. My medication helps me. I have Bipolar I as well.

Good for you in being successful in managing these emotions and less dissociation. That is my goal.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
