In reply to Zonisamide or Modafinil-Dysphoric Hypomania??, posted by Geezer on March 5, 2002, at 10:06:32
> Mitch, John, and others may recall my adventure from the recent past. I am Bipolar II, was stable on 1000mg. Dep. and Remeron 15mg. (refractory TRD persists with this combo). The old pdoc (now fired) pushed the Remeron to 30mg. resulting in dysphoric hypomania (mixed-state ?). Options coming up next Tues. 11th:
> 1) Increase Dep. to 1250mg and increase Remeron to 30mg.
> 2) Increase Dep. to 1250, leave Remeron at 15mg. and add Modafinil slowly.
> 3) Leave Dep. at 1000mg, leave Remeron at 15mg., and add Zonisamide as part of a research study next month.

> This is all being done under the supervision of 2 pdocs, one a treating pdoc, the other in research and in control the Zonisamide part of the plan.

Geezer,What sort of thing have these pdocs told you about Zonegran, if anything? What sort of things are they trying to solve by adding it on-if you don't mind me asking? I am just trying to figure what the skinny is in their heads by offering the trial.
thanks in advance,
Mitch
