Interesting. I had my first psychotic episode when I first started mirtazapine. But, I think the eventual down regulation of my norepinephrine/beta-adrenergic receptors by very high-dose Effexor, and the extra norepinephrine produced by mirtazapine, really helped my depressive episodes in my experience with BP II. I learned to cap the mania with carbamazepine, small dose propranolol, and risperidone. Oddly, the addition of amphetamine (or pretty much an extended-release version, Vyvanse) has been amazing, and sustained a smooth antidepressant, pro-social effect for over ten years. As well, high dose Lyrica (for an amazing pro-GABAergic effect!!) has kept me balanced, but with a very controllable anti-anxiety and antidepressant effect.

Anyhow...sorry for going off-topic...as usual..lol.
