I'm glad to know that I'm not unique in any way regarding my peculiar or less than spectacular response to meds.
I tend towards depression and anxiety. My experience with mania (if you can call it that!) is universally AD induced. It's really more like agitation or aggression and it's usually very ugly. Like being depressed and agitated instead of just being depressed! Once in a great while I might get a mild euphoria and feel that everything is great from a new AD I've never taken before. But that dissipates quickly...
50 mg of lamictal makes me feel exhausted so I always go back to 25mg. The benzos are clearly depressogenic for me but are helpful with anxiety. And the antidepressants are filled with side effects including EPS and agitation.
what a mess!
Oh well...
Scott
