> Maybe Ace is just really happy ....

I think this is an accurate statement.

> It can induce hypomania, as can Parnate, although not like the SSRIs. I'm bipolar and the Parnate has not made me MORE hypomanic. But I am trying to find a mood stabiliser that works for me.

> Ace is also taking Zyprexa which I think would prevent any hypomania from occuring if that were the case.

Not just am I taking it - will be taking it soon for the OCD.
> But let's ask Ace directly.

OK!

> So Ace .... are you bipolar and do you think Nardil has induced hypomania in you?

No, I'm not bipolar nor do I think Nardil has induced hypomania as defined by psychiatric nosology - for instance on Nardil when I moved house a while back (I always get depressed moving house) I felt a little flat, but not depressed like I would have sans Nardil. Also, if I felt I did poorly in an exam I would feel flat but Nardil would protect me from spiraling into a depression. But usually, and I mean the vast majority, it really motivates me, makes me happy to be alive, puts my heart into life and makes the hard times much much less hard.

Thanks for asking Max - have you considered Zyprexa for your 2nd drug?

All the best,
Ace.
