Suggest Medicine For Depression, Anxiety Disorder And Bipolar Disorder

I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder, and bi-polar disorder. First 2 since 1996 taking meds of and on. Currently on 300 mg Wellbutrin once a day. On .5 Klonipin twice a day. For Bi-Polar, 1250 mg once a day for last five years. Moods and behavior slight changes lately. Saw my Doc in September. No changes in meds. Next appointment is in January. Will talk about meds then. Work in Retail Management. (59 years old) Plan was to leave meds alone until after crazy holiday season. My thoughts are to consider med change now, but that really scares me. Actually increases my anxiety. Do not know what to do. Any advice or things to consider.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Only drugs are not sufficient for psychological diseases like anxiety, depression and bipolar disease.
Along with drugs, you need counseling and motivational sessions by psychotherapist.
These sessions will definitely boost your self confidence and give you faith in cure.
So consult good psychotherapist and discuss your stressors.. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Keep positive attitude and stay healthy.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
