I have been diagnosed as bipolar II and am currently taking neurontin, zoloft, lamictal, geodon, risperdal, topamax and zanax. I am really starting to feel that my dr is over medicating me - Is there any advice. I've thought about just stopping all the meds

I think your doctor might be pushing it a bit too far. Two anti-psychotics for bipolar II (which as far as I know is non-psychotic manic-depression) seem a bit much. Plus he has you on three different anticonvulsants which, unless you're epileptic seems like overkill. I would clear things up with him if I were you.

How do you feel mentally on all these drugs?
