Hello Jon,Well I had typed along winded response back but lost it navigating the new posting features. Just as well I supoose. I'm still riding the AD+Stimulant+benzo bandwagon. And while my experience of life is probably not normal and I'd prefer one pill to do the job instead of 5 or 6 at at constantly changing doses and times to take them, I've managed to keep my beast on a leash for now. I do drop off from time to time into severe depressions that are short lived, and I use the start stop method with antidepressants to keep myself generally high.
I'm currently defining myself as Atypical depression with bipolar tendencies, comorbid ADD, Anxiety disorders, personality disorders, etc.
I do keep thinking that maybe...Just Maybe if I took Lithium and Depakote and *Waited* 6-12 months, I'd be a brand new person and never have to change my cocktail again. But I'm so impatient and unable to tolerate unhappiness that I want someone else to show up on this board and say that is exactly what they did and it worked before I ditch the feel good pills.
I will say that my arch nemesis of psychiatric drugs is wellbutrin. It seems to directly activate the part of my brain that is causing all my problems.
Please make sure to let me know what goes down with Dr.Liebowitz. I'm interested for the both of us!
Warm Regards,
Scott
