Hi,
Hoping that people who have experience with bi-polar depression could comment. I have had pretty intense depression mixed with anxiety (the uncomfortable pacing type) for several months. Unremiting. Also feel "paniced" when the anxiety continues (or I get tired of pacing all day!). Have had some life event stressors like unemployment (walking off a long term job in a manic rage) and financial but it seems like I should be able to handle those instead hiding from the issues due to intense depression and anxiety.
I am taking 300 mgs of lamictal, 900 mgs of lithobid and 300 mgs of seroquel at night. I also take 75 mgs of seroquel during the day (prn)if the pacing gets real bad. Kind of a painful existence.
Is there anything other people have tried to break the bipolar depression/anxiety cycle? Why is it taking so long for the depression to recede (since October 2005)? Would be very greatful for any feedback.
