> I am in a quandary. I have been on ADs for over 12 years and have been very successful with it. However, the past 5 months have been very difficult for me in that I have been unable to shake the depression for a full 24 hrs. The depression seems to peak from 2PM to 7PM. I have only been on 900mg lithium, recently increased to 1200mg for a month and 5 months on 400mg lamictal. I am on 100mg prozac and 90mg remeron. My pdoc and I are aware that we are exceeding the recommended dosage for prozac and remeron. Bottomline: Should I give the lithium more time? Should I increase lamictal? I have been on most of the ssri's and wellbutrin. Should I just wipe the slate clean and start from scratch? H E L P !!!!!!!!

Wow! You are on high doses of both ADs. This can exacerbate your depression if your bipolar. This is preventing your mood stabilzers from working the right way for you. Good Luck.
