Just saw my Psyc doc today..I am STILL working on getting well. I cannot take SSRI's as they make me cycle.
The latest cocktail I am trying and that seems to be a good one for BPII's to try, according to my doc, is Lamictal and Topamax. Topamax is very goood for the cycling and is a stronger mood stabilizer and Lamictal is very good for depression....will let you know how it goes....I was on Lam on its own two years ago and had 8 weeks of bliss and then crashed....Have been on Topamax for four months and am up to 125 mgs but it is not doing enough for the depression so we have just added the Lam. I have to go real slow titrating as I get every S/E in the book....time will tell....
