Hi Eric,Like a mixed state? Isn't that typical of Bipolar 2? I've experienced chronic depression since I was a teenager, and the severe depressive episodes started around 18. The anxiety, irritability and lethargy co-existed with my depression and worsened with age. The mania from Neurontin emerged over the past several years, and was unlike anything I'd experienced before. (If my understanding of a mixed state is correct, that's how I was on Neurontin--in a depressive episode, but really speedy, crying, impulsive, etc.). Ugh.
