Hi Gary and thanks for your reply!
You've certainly been through quite a journey in terms of working out which meds are effective for your condition. You must have a very experimental Pdoc!
In terms of my prior drug use, I've found that the stimulating drugs such as cocaine and amphetamine have always produced the best, "normalising" response. MDMA was never a favourite, purely due to the after effects - left me feeling practically suicidal with anxious depression.
I have just started taking depakote in addition to the Cymbalta, which is just kicking in now after a month - it does feel as if the depakote is holding back the hypomania somehow.
Did you have any thoughts on the ADD type symptoms? I think I will ask my Pdoc on Monday about trying out a stimulant of some description.
Thanks for all your info, it has certainly given me some more talking points! I'll be sure to let you know what he says.
Sorry to hear about the architecture course. Have you decided what you are going to do now?
