Hi Phil.
Would you want to post on the Medication board to receive some feedback regarding your treatment?
If you are not taking a drug like Zyprexa, I would encourage you to examine it as an adjunct to the other drugs you are currently taking. For me, Zyprexa acts within hours when I am in a manic state. I also respond well to Depakote. However, I find that Zyprexa helps more to treat the dysphoria.
Believe it or not, I have seen Topamax work incredibly well to treat a hypomanic mixed-state. I have become a believer in the utility of this drug. One woman I know is doing well at 100mg.
Anyway, I just wanted to provide you with some information. I am not happy to see you struggling so much. I do have some insight into dysphoric mania, as I have experienced it myself.
Be well.
- Scott
