Hi Scott...
I´m sorry but I missed your E-mail adress. I would be very glad to correspond with you.Thanks a lot for your respons of my qestions regarding Mirtazapin. I have had severel infections since I started it for two years ago. Positive effect was: Very good for sleep, and reduced the sexual side effect from Venlafaxine. It´s negative side effect was weightgain and (infection)
I will make a trial to stop the Mirtazapin. Hopefully the Litium + Lamotrigine + Venlafaxine will keep the depression under controll.
What about you? Have you tried Topiramate yet? I have seen some refractary bipolar depression respond very well on Lamotrigin + Topiramate + ( your Venlafaxine + Imipramin?)
I have spoke with som doc in this area, and they have started use this stratergi in difficult cases with progess.What about the citalopram trial, that you mention for some month ago? I have use it once, only in monotherapi, with moderat success. It has a very benign side effects profile. One can go as high as 120 mg, often with minimal side effect. Are you still using Ziprasidone? I used it for two month but my blood pressure was raised when combo it with Venlafaxine.
Stay well...//Petters--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
