Merry Christmas,
Ive posted on this board off and on for 3 years... I've tried over 40 drugs, had ECT and rTMS and nothing worked... I suffer from bipolar 2.. I'm severely suicidally depressed for 90% of the time.. the other 10% I'm in a weird hyperagitated state... I was just in the Dominican republic before christmas and I decided that that would be my last experience in life... I had planned my suicide for early in the new year.... However, something happened on the trip.. I added Lithium to my Seroquel and a change happened... I suddenly felt calmer and less depressed... I would say I'm 75% close to remission... I just need to optimize my dosages.... I think a major point I need to make is that many of, so called 'treatment-resistant', will NOT respond to one drug... So please, go see a great pdoc and keep agressively treating your mental illness!!Good Luck to All,
bpsPS. Special thanx to SLS... Who always answered my posts as best as he could no matter how esoteric they were...
