> Hey scott, i dont know about most of the meds you are on, besides of course trileptal and lamictal. Are any of the other meds like an AD? Because if you remember I take 600mg of tri and 300 of lamictal and when i stopped taking prozac, i began going into a depressive state. I feel better now that i am back on it.

My diagnosis? I remain severely depressed every moment of every day of every year. However, I have had manic reactions to medication on 4 occasions. Since the manic reactions were severe and included psychoses, I am probably more like a bipolar I than a bipolar II. The depression also looks bipolar. It is very anergic, psychomotor retardation, impaired cognition, and a deficit syndrome (negative symptoms). They gave it a name... NOS. :-) In the next DSM, there will probably be a category in which a case like mine will fall into - bipolar III.
