Hi Geezer,

I'm so glad you feel are getting some really good
quality information to push your treatment along the right
direction. I have found help on the internet to be so
invaluable. I went through crappy doctors. After I started to
research the matter myself and found some good advice from
experienced patients on how I ought to be treated it was easy
for me to evaluate whether or not my pdoc was good. Then I
could put more trust in his judgement (allthough I will always
remain skeptical and see the trends on pbabble etc).

Best regards, I feel you are on the road to recovery. I
see a bright future ahead.

Cheers,
John

> 1) Mitch-your right-looks like alpha-2 adrenoreceptor antagonism is the culprit. Like you I got VERY hostile - pdoc confirms dysphoric hypomania. Told me to increase Dep. and go easy on Remeron.
> 2) John-I have taken several ADs including Wellbutrin (the rest were SSRIs). I think Wellbutrin is perhaps the overall best for many of us with Bipolar II for reasons you know. I never pushed Well to the limit and I had no mood stablizers in the mix at the time. I have only been stabilized 9 months - since then - Zoloft pushed to 200mg.

Please remember I am a "brittle" Bipolar II due to thirty years of incorrect monotherapy with TCAs and a LOT of noncompliance. It is also difficult because "I don't trust anyone (pdocs)". Well I trust the one I saw today - knows his stuff. I hope each of you take a little pride in your contribution on this subject. I was in more than a little trouble when I posted this subject......you made THE difference.
