Hi Vince,
It's hard for me to say for absolute sure whether I have BP I or BP II. I have had a manic episode, but it happened while I was on an AD alone. I'm not sure the exact diagnosis matters anyway because I believe they are pretty much treated the same.
Every mood stabilizer I have been on (Depakote, Gabitril & Trileptal) have taken away my anxiety. Unfortunately, the Depakote made me lethargic and gain weight and the Gabitril made me depressed. The Trileptal has worked really well so far for my anxiety and to keep me balanced. Currently, I'm on 300mg in the morning and 600mg at night. I've only been on it for about a month so we'll have to wait and see if it lasts, but so far so good.
What meds have you tried so far for your BP II and anxiety?
