Hi yes yes yes! I am 43 years old, just diagnosed this past year after a gazillion meds and pdoc's and what not. NOT to mention near death experiences due to psychosis. After what I now know in retrospect was rapid cycling likely induced by trying every antidepressant on the market(as you know BAD news for BP)I am having a life-changing experience with the anti-psychotic Zyprexa, the mood stabilizer Lamictal...some weight gain issues so I'm looking at other options but will not hesitate to return to this combo if need be...also sexual side-effects with Zoloft blah blah. I hope that you find a good doctor like I finally have and you find some relief. Hugs!
