> Whats your diagnosis?Well, according to William Z. Potter (formally of the NIH), I am bipolar, even though the only times I have experienced mania has been in association with taking antidepressants. Without antidepressants, I never get manic. Otherwise, I have been chronically depressed for decades. That really sucks.
My bipolar really does look bipolar. It is sort of like a hybrid of atypical and melancholic. It looks atypical in many ways, but includes psychomotor retartdation, melancholy, intrusive thoughts, and is areactive.
It may be that minocycline is particularly effective when combined with other anti-glutamatergic or pro-dopaminergic drugs. For me, that would include Lamictal and Abilify, respectively.
