> Mitch, your description pretty much fits the type of depression I've had. Slowed thoughts can even become stopped thoughts! Sometimes a darkness would come into my mind that felt like it could obliterate it, when I tried to think even one thought or half a thought. Like my thinking would be smothered by this darkness and just stop.
Hi,My pdoc thinks I am one of those "limbic-depressive ADHD" subtypes of late (with mixed bipolar). I wouldn't disagree. I have had the best response to low-dose stimulants for bipolar depressions (with NO hypomania). Stims tend to "cascade" into panic for me, unfortunately, after a few weeks. So they are pretty much out-that's OK because panic is the worst feeling I ever have experienced (even worse than the mixed depressive bleakness). So I am currently on Depakote, Klonopin, Effexor, Wellbutrin (all low-dose-esp. the AD's).
