Well ok I have Bipolar disorder but it is type two so
I am on an extreme roller coaster - the best it get is when I have crappy feelings and crazy thoughts at the same time as euphoria - the worst is when I am completely suicidally depressed plus I also have the worst underscribable feelings as well -
anyway I felt the closest I have felt to normal in 6 yeard yesterday and I attribute it to the parnate I have been taking for a week (20mg) I am also on 1600 mg of carbamazepine - was on the carbamazepine alone which helps take away then extremest depression and the extremist manic symptoms - I am still completely unfunctional though- curious to know what other Bipolars have used in terms of an antidepressant that did not promote mania and while you are here wanted to know about your mood stabilizer as well - I have tried lithium and depakote and they are not effective for me - the carbamazepine is the best thing so far but it is no miracle by any means-
ANY ideas would be greatly appreciated
Peace
Cara
