Not the strongest antimanic...Is that why Trileptal?

Do you have mixed states?

What is your regime?

Memantine is tricky. You kind of have to go up slowly and find the sweet spot-and the sweet spot is barely noticeable, but its there.
>I hope things are better for you.
Agh! I've lost my libido entirely-I'm on Luvox and I think its the culprit. I want to trade it in for mirtazapine.
Also been getting depressed-Luvox works great for the OCD but seems to do nothing for depression. How can that be?
