Sadmon,
My pdoc says bipolar disorder is caused by seratonin excess, not norepinehron. Said its a documented symptom. But remember, I was on two seratonin drugs: Paxil and Remaron. My doc choose to dial down the remaron from 45 to 30 mg/day. I don't know your options.I'm tempted to ask my pdoc to sub Strattera (a SNRI) for Paxil. It'll be fun just to see how he reacts.
Thats for writting and please let me know how things go and what your doc says and chooses to do about it. That would be very helpful info!
Thanks so Much!
