Alcohol and bipolar

Second day without booze. I reluctantly admit that I feel cheerier. Slept in and even that did not cause the devastating depression I am used to. I hate to "blame" alcohol as I like it. One note however: On my regimen of Lamictal, Trileptal, Cymbalta, Risperdol and Welbutrin, things taste different from time to time and spoil the enjoyment.

I am curious about this funny taste thing. I also am very sensitive to smells. Let me know if you have had any similar experience with these drugs. I am assuming it is the drugs.

Shorter updates, bipolar and Trileptal

Thinking of lowering/quitting Trileptal, oxcarbazepine for a while. Felt better Sunday when I missed my meds. Not likely that that had much to do with it as the effect my take longer to wear off. Then again, drug washes out of the system within 12 hours or so.
