In reply to Bipolar Disorder- Help Me find a non-destabilizing, posted by Cara52 on December 8, 2001, at 2:40:48
Hi Cara,
I have bipolar 1 disorder (plus panic and DD-NOS) and every AD has caused a manic episode that landed me in the hospital. The only medication that has ever worked for my depression without this side effect has been opiates. This is a real tough class of medication to get and most pdocs are not receptive. Yours may be receptive to lamictal though, it has strong AD qualities yet is a mood stabilizer. You're the first person I've read about that found relief from tegretol (congratulations). I just hated the stuff. Good luck- judy
