Everytime I read your posts I'm amazed how similar our history is; I've also been on all the mood stabilizers you've listed and been treatment resistant to all. Are you having GI problems with the fish oil? (That's been my experience). You sound great after having just undergone ECT, have you had any negative experiences- especially memory? That's the only treatment being offered to me by shrinks now. I also am in massive denial about this disorder despite numerous hospitalizations for mania and depression- I'm convinced nothing works because I really have some incredibly severe personality disorder. I also started out with a SAD presentation when I lived in Minnesota- up in the spring down in the winter. I was part of a light study that really helped depressions; but I also tend to abuse substances which I realize screws everything up. Anyway I'm rambling, I'm glad you are doing better. Take care.
