I would say if "the middle" of classic bipolar is normal mood... my middle is dysthymia.. thats were my moodswings are at. Without medication i DO NOT get manic. All that happens is i might have normal mood for a few days and then it goes down to depression again.
Im thinking adding a mild ssri might really be a good idea. Maybe one thats good against social anxiety.
So then id be basically on lithium and i would have my "axis" lifted to normal mood. Lithium evens it out at a dysthymic level and the ssri lifts it up to normal..
sounds like a plan to me.
Also i have discovered that when i take anything that has to do with dopamine.. (nardil) (wellbutrin) i lose my mind. Im really sensitive to that stuff.
well see i will check with my psychiatrist soon
ill keep u updated
