This has happened to me on wonderful, relaxing vacations! The reverse has happened, but usually not as abruptly.

>JaneB,
I have tried both Lithobid (Lithium) and Lamictal. I hated Lithium. I am currently taking the Lamictal. It may eliminate deep depression, but it doesn't seem to affect the more subtle DV. I wonder, as you suggest, perhaps the AD is causing the DV.Can anyone else out there in "Psycho-Babble Land" contribute to this dialogue between JaneB me?
