I am curious about your effexor dose and its relation to your BP II. I know you are bipolar II and I have a terrible understanding of this diagnosis but I am curious about one thing--does the fact that I can take 225 mg of Effexor and 400 mg Wellbutrin without any sort of EXTRA anxiety or agitation tend to show that I am not BP II. I have a lot of free floating agitation and anxiety and I have wondered if this makes me BP II but then I have always been able to handle high doses of AD meds without exacerbating these symptoms, but they hardly help them except to the extent AD's lift my mood and keep me from getting down about it. I guess it doesn't matter because what works for some doesn't work for others regardless of dx. I think I am leaning towards trying Lamictal as well. I want to cut down the WB. And I am thinking Lamictal may help with anergia and agitation but who knows? It is an interesting med.
One more q: Why do you go by Ritch when you call yourself Mitch?
Thanks,
JACK
