Should BP II's nix the AD's?

Posted by nmk on May 27, 2003, at 18:43:09

All you BP's out there, please help me with a question. Have been doing alot of reading lately and many doc's have stated that AD's should be used cautiously with BP I and II. Some say that if used, they should be administered in small doses while some say a mood stabilizer should be used solo.
Has the combo of an ssri/snri with a mood stabilizer worked for you guys or is better to try the mood stabilizer solo?
My current combo of 18mg strattera, 50 mg zoloft, and 1200mg of Trileptal isn't working and I am cycling frequently. I don't know if I should ask my pdoc to eliminate the AD's or simply increase the trileptal.
Any thoughts, advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nicole
