In reply to BPII but nothing seems to help, posted by upsndowns on March 7, 2005, at 11:00:49
I can relate. I also have BPII, antidepressants don't work or make me hypomanic. I have tried at least one of everything in every class of drug, nothing helped. My main problems are depression and anxiety. I started Gabitril (tiagibine) about 15 months ago, and it is the only drug that has helped me. For the entire year of 2004 I did not have an episode of depression (unheard of!). Also my anxiety was greatly reduced. I did have an episode of depression in Jan. 2005, but it was not as bad as in the past and resolved by the end of the month (with some extra support but no additional drugs). Of course, no drug works for everyone. It is frustrating that it can take so long to find what works for you (took me 10 years). Good luck - I hope you find relief.
