I think there is a distinct difference between bipolar II folks experiences with anti-depressants and unipolar and bipolar I folks. I hope that anything I or anybody else writes that is negative about AD's, doesn't discourage someone that needs them and is being prescribed something to help them. I know personally several unipolar depressive people that take "big" doses of differing AD's and have few negative responses to them, AND you can see the difference it makes-there is a personal case (where I work) that probably saved someone's life-and we are all glad that she is still alive!
Let's all try to be scientific-> I definitely agree with the whole topic, I have had success with Wellbutrin and did report back about it. But now I am finding that although I have improved in some ways, I definitely am not where I need to be (details not pertinent). So I come back to find out about the alternatives and I am just freaked. So now I am thinking of just going off but I don't know that that is a good idea. I am just really confused. I need some good news. All I find on the internet are horror stories like that Panacea or Pandora book, I really don't want to be permanently disabled. Just my thoughts. (IMHO):-)
