> Thanks for the information. I tried Strattera once for some overlapping ADD features (extreme distraction, inability to complete tasks, disorganization) I was troubled by the side effect of anxiety/fear. It made me feel very strange. I was on Zyprexa briefly which wiped me out but I may look into Abilify. By the way, I'm also on a low dose of Wellbutrin SR (50mgs) because I can't tolerate going higher. I wonder if I should just go off of this too.

Try Strattera again. The first few days I was on it I experienced the same thing; a very strange feeling. But after a week the strange feeling left and was replaced with a feeling of confidence.

Ask your doctor about Abilify for your BPII. I've been on it for about six months and have found it to be not only a good mood stabilizer but also good for paranoia and delusions. The only problem with it is that as it builds up in your system you get a "stoned robot" feeling.
