Hi there. I understand its a difficult time for you for you. This is a very delicate situation and an advice can only be given after detailed assessment. Any change has risks of relapse of illness associated with it. So please speak to a Psychiatrist for full assessment. I hope this helps.
Tab. Brintellax 10mg one at night daily along tab. Pinaz (olanzapine) 10mg one at night daily
In bipolar disorder we use a different type of medications in especially the entire the presence or effective but the major drug that is very useful in bipolar disorder is actually Lithium but before starting the Lithium we need renal profile the function of Kidneys because Lithium is released from the body through the Kidneys if the Kidneys are working well we can use it

Welcome, I am sorry to say that it is difficult to understand with this short account of the history, you need to mention what medications are you taking currently and their doses and since how long, and what is the duration of your illness and how many episodes have occurred so far? a detailed account of history is required in this case for a proper understanding of symptoms and diagnostic re-evaluations! as guidelines in bipolar disorder, antidepressants should not be started as first-line therapy where mood stabilizer and antipsychotics are recommended then the patient can be started on antidepressants, but many antidepressant medications at one time are not recommended, as your concern about your creativity is being affected and that need to understand because antidepressants do not have any effect on creativity, it may be your way of thinking due to your illness or maybe any other reason need to understand, you are advised to visit a psychiatrist or book an online appointment for further guidance. Thank you
you need detailed evaluation. according to the current mental state and diagnosis medications should be reviewed and decreased.
