Hi Jumpy,
I have also tried a litany of meds and med combos, and I am also confused as to whether I am bipolar or simply have unipolar depression + anxiety.All this to say, for the past few months I have had good results from Lexapro (5 mg. at night). I am normally extremely med sensitive and can't tolerate most meds that I've tried. I also take 0.5 mg. Klonapin at night to sleep, and sometimes I take 0.25 mg. during the day if I am especially anxious. The Lexapro has helped the anxiety and the depression, although I still suffer from fatigue. But I am okay with the fatigue now that my mood is so much better.
My best to you. I know it's a difficult road, and sometimes feels hopeless, but it's not -- there is so much out there. Maybe Lexapro is worth a try?
Hang in there,
-cindy
