Uh... I'm not sure if I'm a rare case with mild rapid cycling bipolar and ADD (and what was once MAJOR anxiety) but I managed to get down to low dose parnate (30 mg) and the occassional clonazepam (maybe 2 mg / day?). The fact that I havn't been taking a mood stabilizer and have been stable not only for the first time in my life, but for .. at least 1 year consistently? is quite strange to me. One would expect parnate to cause some degree of hypomania, I had thought.

Lifestyle changes were extremely important as well.
