didnt ever think to stop over here and say hi. but I have a question. Im a 27 yr old male. diagnosed with bi-polar. I take 400 mg's of carbomazepine also I take .05 klonopin 4 times a day. which I have been on both for over a year.

They both worked awsome at first. but in the last couple of months I have noticed some old thought patterns returnign... The klonopin keeps me cool and even headed but I think I have built a tolerance.. or have i built a tolerance to carbomazepine OR ... both?

Any insight on this would be really nice! thanks in advance.

You could be right. Sometimes individuals can build up tolerances to medications.

If you are having symptoms arising, there are ways to combat them. The pdoc can help you. The pdoc might adjust the meds by tweaking them, adding a new one on, taking one away slowly, etc.

Best thing to do for you right now is to contact the pdoc asap. Do not let those symptoms continue. No one wants to feel miserable or uneasy within themselves or about their life due to this illness. Right?

Hang in there.
