thank you for taking the time to post, but yes Jay, I have been through every conceivable combo, at times 6-7 meds/day (28 pills) + clinical trials, etc. so this is why my pdoc is suggesting this, i agree at those doses they do act as psychotropic meds and i'll be very closely monitored. i would love to hear what type of side-effects you had, were you being monitored by your shrink, etc. i am giving this a 2 month trial because it's all i have left. i do have a med regime- depakote if i'm getting manic (but i do not stay on a regular dose because i get extremely depressed), zyprexa if i show psychotic symptoms and always on klonopin (and xanax prn) for my panic disorder. i also take an opiate that helps keep my depressions at bay and have intensive therapy. so the plan (per my pdoc) is to stay on the present regime and as I get stable (hopefully), taper off any present medication. i consider this a trial in a never-ending list of trials, and will post as it goes. btw, i did meet a gentlemen with BP1 disorder who has been on truehope for 2 years and is stable for the first time in over a dozen years (and of course i understand this could be a stage in his illness). take care, judy
