Zo,
I'm beginning to think after all these years of being diagnosed as severe unipolar with periodic agitation that I am REALLY bipolar-II. That's why no ADs have ever maintained the effect, I get panic attacks when I first start, and 'speed' has a paradoxically calming effect on me. Gotta figure these things out for ourselves, it seems.
-- Barbara> BarbaraCat, Sounds almost like the effect the so-called stimulants, Dexedrine and Adderall have on me. But I wonder if it differs in that I felt very centered on Bupe. Of course I soon became deeply, deeply manic, but that was me, and my bipolar II was unmedicated at the time. I wonder if there are biochemical parallels.
