I've tried just about every anti-depressant and anti-bipolar med out there. They either don't work at all, or poop out fast.
I've been diagnosed as bipolar II. I've been in a depressive state for 2 years, more or less. Used to be pretty manic, but that fizzled out over the last 2-3 years. I miss those days.. Mania was WAY better than severe depression.
Anyway, I may try Parnate or Nardil in the next few months. How bad are the OTC drug and food restrictions? Anyone want to warn me to stay away from MAOI's? Horror stories?
Should I try something else first? I've tried almost all of the ssri's out there. Only a couple of anti-psycotics though.
Taking the 50/12 dose of Symbyax and 450mg of Wellbutrin XL/XR (whichever it is).
Been on the symbax for a month or so and I don't feel better. WB just gives me energy, it has no anti-depressant effects for me. Never has.
