In reply to Re: HELP! BiPolar2 with severe depr and mild mania:, posted by polarbear206 on May 7, 2002, at 14:50:25

Hi there,

Thanks for responding. First to answer your question, the AD I'm currently on is EffexorXR (I was successful with the tricyclic Elavil before the SSRI's came out, then had success on Paxil for many years before poopout, have tried and not done well on Zoloft, Celexa).

Interesting suggestion regarding trying Lamictal along with Neurontin ... especially because from what I read about Neurontin it almost sounds too *mild* or something!

Your Bipolar2 sounds very similar to mine in that your cycling is depression dominated and you have EXACTLY what I do in terms of no mania, just increases in energy with the ups. Incredibly alike!

I may wind up on Lithium although its narrow range of toxicity and need for blood monitoring scare me and only feed into my anxiety problems!

I have a few questions for you, if you don't mind:

1) You asked me if my depressions are "atypical" - what is atypical depression? Once you tell me what that is, I will know if I have that or not!

2) But what do you mean by "soft cycling"??

3) Are you taking Neurontin along with the Lamictal?

Thanks!
