I've been off these boards for a long time. I've tried the no treatment route for half a year or so, after many years of tx for BPII and OCD. I've been on just about every SSRI, NDRI, tricylic, MAOI, etc., you can think of, with no real success.
Years ago, I did the lithium thing, but I didn't do well on it. I think it was my fault insofar as I didn't stick to the regimen and did stupid things like drink while I was on a lithium cocktail. Not too bright.
Anyway, that was almost a decade ago, and I may be going on lithium and an AD again. I am wondering if anyone diagnosed with BPII or BP depression has had experience with a lithium alternative.
Also, Nardil was a pretty effective med for me, for awhile at least. Anyone ever combined lithium and Nardil or another MAOI?
Thanks.
