He told me that the baby dose of Desipramine that my family doctor had put me on never would have made any difference, plus he thinks it wasn't right for me. He believes, and I agree with him, that Lamictal is a better choice. He also gave me a script for Klonopin, which I have yet to fill.
It's been 4 days and I am taking a tiny dose of Lamictal daily, working up to full dose in 5 weeks.
Apparently I am one of those unlucky bipolar II folks who rarely, if ever, have hypomanias to enjoy. I have experienced it only once for sure, and that was 10 years ago and related to an antidepressant I tried.
