I've thought of going back to imipramine. I did well on that many years ago. The side effects were pretty intense though. It was almost 20 years ago and I still remember the dry mouth, nasal congestion, flushed face and anorgasmia. I think I had insomnia too.
If I take the Depakote and the agitation/fear goes away, does that mean it IS med-induced dysphoric mania? I'm kind of looking at this med trial as a diagnostic tool.
