Hello all
Karen -- I wasn't sure how else to reach you... you responded to a couple of my posts, stating that I could be bipolar ...
Now that I am completely off the Effexor, I am seeing more behaviors that support your theory -- I am either very agitated and anxious, or depressed and down, on the verge of tears. Rarely in the middle of these extremes. (But no "mania" like I've always heard described -- extreme highs, spending sprees, up all night, etc.)
So, just looking for some advice from someone who seems to have been in my place before.
Have you heard of Manerix? A reversible MAOI available only in Canada (my doctor mentioned this to me last visit). Are MAOIs helpful for bipolar? What other medications could be worth looking into?
I am currently on Wellbutrin and Klonapin, but they are barely keeping me afloat these days.
Thank you so much for your help.
