I think I might be considered a potential example. I've been on most SSRI's as well as buproprion, and most recently on Remeron which pooped after 3 months of excellent response and spiraled into a major suicidal depression. Am now on 300 mg. of lithium and 7.5mg on Remeron and titrating off completely. I felt immediate help on the lithium and better with each dosage decrease of Remeron. The real proof will be how I'm doing when the Remeron is completely out of my system. This may be an augmentation response for the Remeron, but I don't think so.
> I think this whole issue is still very controversial and individual. Despite the latest theories I have never meet a single person who was chronically and seriously depressed (BPII) who responded soley to mood stabilizers.. particularly Depakote.
