> Scott I wish you would. And post it here. Then a lot of input might help solve the mystery or what might work. See already you mention lithium and klonopin for that time.
Yes. It is unfortunate that Depakote and Zyprexa weren't available then. Lithium is only mildly effective for me. However, Depakote squashes mania almost as quickly as Zyprexa. Of course, these two drugs have their own undesirable properties, but they both put the fire of mania out very quickly. In the days before these two drugs were available, one trick used for non-response or delayed response to lithium was the addition of a BZD.
As I had guessed, my prescription plan denied coverage of Viibryd. I have a starter pack, but I wanted to force the issue of coverage as soon as possible, as it might take a few weeks to resolve.
Prescription plan insurance companies are forever more usurping the role of doctors, and forcing them to revise or abandon treatment plans based on constantly changing formularies to suit their ledgers. This is a horrendous state of affairs.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
