I haven't been officially diagnosed BPII, but it is so prevalent in my family and I have mostly depressive (almost psychotic depression) and anxiety mixed with an occasional manic meanness and a tendancy to self medicate.
So I've added Lamictal (175 mgs currently) and lowered my Celexa to 20 mgs and feel great. It eliminating parts of the depression/anxiety that SSRIs never touched and at the same time quelled my urge to self-medicate.
Only downsides: it make me feel a little flu-ish and headachey at times (like right now)
At least for now, this combo is my silver bullet!
