Geezer,

I think atypical depression is typical for bipolar II.

Btw, have you ever thought about adding an anti-psychotic like
Zyprexa? Also what other mood-stabilizers have you tried?
Lamictal has a good reputation for its anti-depressant properties.
A lot of Pdocs are of the school of thought that bipolar is
best treated with more mood stabilizers or anti-psychotics than
anti-depressants. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Has there ever been a time when you had the atypical depression
under control?

Regards
John

> Hi TSA WEST,
> I am Bipolar II, currently on 1000mg. Depakote, 150mg. Zoloft, and 10mg. Ambien bedtime. I have been trying to get rid of a very nasty atypical depression for the past 9 mos. I may be included in a clinical trial for either Keppra or Zonegran but my own pdoc is in favor of Remeron. I feel stabile on the Dep. and don't want to feel like I have been run over by a bus with the Remeron. What would your opinion be?
