Anxiety, unfounded fear
My friend is diagnosed bipolar II, given arip 10 mg, and 0.25 mg. She was on 5 mg Arip since dec last year. Towards end FEB, she started saying she is feeling depressed on consultation she was given arip,5mg and topaz. Within weeks she started feeling very uneasy, irritated, anxious, topaz was then substituted by etilaam. Now it's few weeks, she is anxious due to fear of abandonment, completely unfounded. Was wondering etilaam would have helped her calm down, not sure if it is going..appreciate some guidance. .

She is possibly going through phase of depression of bipolar illness.
You can modify medicines in this manner
Continue arip mt 5 mg one tab at night
Add tab lamotrigine 25 mg one tab at night
Tab etizolam 0.25 mg one tab in morning afternoon and night
She can take lorazepam 1 mg one tab at night as and when required for sleep
This change of medicines will take time to act but will ease anxiety.
