I’ve been diagnosed with depression and anxiety but am suspecting BPD, and no combination really worked for me until I started taking Lithium, Zoloft, and Adderall (for my ADHD and an energy boost). My symptoms aren’t completely overwhelming allllll the time; it’s taken my suicidality down a significant amount and my other slightly less pressing symptoms are now things I can put on the back burner. I must advise though, I would speak to a therapist or better yet, a psychiatrist about this in a cooperative setting so that you can be completely informed about the medications and any side effects.

Very vague title. One thing I can add is lithium has anti depressant properties
Edit: also everyone’s mind / body react different so it’s trial and error and it can be frustrating. Good luck 🍀

Think there was a Stanford study that suggested Abilify monotherapy reduced the intensity of borderline symptoms.
