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.

Jay, that's a remarkable use of tools. Kudos...

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

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
