> It is heartening to find so many others who have experienced what I have been going through for several years now. I have finally gotten the BPII diagnosis and I hope appropriate treatment, but so many AD's have only made my symptoms worse, most recently a re-trial of serzone which sent me into sobbing depression above 100mgs and into high under that dose. I am now seeing a psychopharmacologist who has me on very slowly titrating Abilify while remaining on 25mg of serzone and bits of clonopin so as not to mix side effects. So far, two weeks into it and on 1/4 of a 5mg tablet things are going well. It was such a relief to find that I was being believed about the irritability/anger/hostility being my mania. It took a lot of work on my part to come up with the information, something that needs a lot more work on the part of the mental health community. Glad to find you all here discussing this.
My prayers are with you. It's gratifying that, in seeking help for myself, I've helped others.
