Hey again HG,
Yea, donr feel alone if you have lost time to this- Iv given up a lot of tiime as well to this illness. Off an on for 6-7 years.-Some good times, but plenty of bad. It seems you take the same moodstabilizing regiment as I do. The zyprexa at 5 and lithium at 1200 that I take (we raised it today actually) seems to be doing a good job with the mania, but like you, antidepressents just dont work like they used to. I am just too sensitive to them I think- though today my doctor said we might consider paxil and prozac after we try a couple of other things. The subject of ect has actually come up for me-though its down the road a bit. Has that ever been suggested to you? I must admit I am a bit frightened by the idea of it.
I'm sorry that you still arnt functioning like you used to. I'v just got to believe that there is a solution for people like you and I. Good luck and I'l keep it posted how things are going for me-
