hey, scott.

My diagnosis is Bipolar I w/psychotic features (mainly recurrent psychotic depression) plus obsessive traits. I don't know anything about "obsessive traits" vs OCD, so...would Luvox be a good idea?

Sedation...I dunno. Its strange. My psychotic stuff is well-controlled (its still fading, but...this is about as much benefit as I'll get from any tranquilizer, I think). My concentration has improved (I think Wellbutrin+Orhtomolecular). My anxiety is much better. My mood swings are less frequent and much less severe. And yet...

...man, psychotic depression don't play. I was out of it in a big way for a while, and I feel as if I'm just now becoming genuinely lucid and truly recovering. I don't wanna load up on even more Rx drugs, but I do have some lingering probs from the depression from the pits of hell, so maybe an SSRI would be a good idea? But sedation...I mean, the combo is sedating; I think its the 400mgs Wellbutrin SR that mitigates the sedation. I'd be concerned that adding in sedating stuff would bring back pronounced concentration problems. But I'm not an expert.

Thanks.
