> No i haven't yet. Do you think this will work. I have dysthymia/depression. no manic episodes at all.
Bipolar spectrum disorders are so misunderstood. Many people walk around wondering why there depression isn't responding to multiple AD trials when this COULD be the underlying problem. You don't have to have full blown mania or hypomania to have this disorder. It may show up as agitation, anger, anxiety, or so subltle that it is easily missed by a doctor. Are you seeing a p-doc? If you haven't gone this route, I would stongly suggest you consider this. You are never going to know unless you try. I will give you some links for further education if you would like. There is also some very good books out there written by top psychiatrist in the field if you are interested. Please, Please, don't give up!! If you don't mind, can you give me a little more of your history? Age of onset, family history, symptoms, etc...
