Penny,
I hope you are getting good treatment.
Zo has been through the "wringer".
Should get some good words there.
I like Lamictal because it can treat both Unipolar and Bipolar depression. So if the dx is foggy it is a good medicine to go with. Plus the side effects are low usually and it is a good noon-destabilizing AD. (this is my bias)
Regards,
John

Never had this experience before, but it's definitely happening now. Pdoc doesn't think I'm fully hypomanic, yet, but he's seeing the rapid cycling too. And I'm 25. Years of dysthymia and first major depression at 21.
