I don't know exactly if i have rapid cycling bipolar or double depression (i.e dysthymia + sometimes depression). I experience very rarely hypomania, but especially when i change meds.
But anyway, I have know a noradrenergic (NE) AD (mianserine) which helps a little but not enough. I just tried to add lithium, which aggravate my depression (like ALL the meds acting on serotonine), and i stopped it.
I was thinking now to tegretol, because i read in a psychiatric book that it was indicated for rapid cycling. But i searched on the psycho bable, and found nothing about that.
I would like to know if someone already tried tegretol + AD for dysthymia or bipolar rapid cycling ?Sigolène
