Hi Tom:
There seems to be some *really* good success with using two mood stabalizers, and possibly adding then thyroid or a small dose of an a.d. I am BP II, and am still trying to find my right med doses. Lithium by itself was too activating, and I am now trying a combo of Tegretol and Zyprexa.
I really, with confidence, would say two mood stabalizers is a good choice in BPII, and possibly addition of an a.d. or Thyroid when/if needed. It's really such more of an art then science, but you are doing a *great* service to yourself and others when you demand optimal treatment. I'd say BPII is becoming much more treatable with the new anticonvulsants and atypical antipsychotics. Keep up the fight..I'd say you/we are on the right track. :-)
Best wishes...
Jay
