> 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

hey Judy I was curious to know what medications you are on at the time you take the opiates - I have tried small doses of MScontin with some success acually but it exhausts me and acually seems to intensify racing thoughts a bit -are you on a mood stabilizer?
