> The problem with this approach is that bipolar depression looks a lot like atypical depression. Usually, it is anergic and produces a reversed vegetative symptomology - over eating and over sleeping. A misdiagnosis here might result in an exacerbation of the illness if mood stabilizers are not employed.

Hi Scott,
That makes sence and may be why so many people go years without being properly diagnosed with bipolar. You would think that by now more PDOCs would be able to ask the right questions to diagnose this illness. I am pretty sure that my atypical depression would lie somewhere on the bipolar spectrum. Nardil, while being the only med that has helped my major depression, has also precipitated at least two episodes of hypomania. What do you think of Lamictal to augment my type of atypical depression?
Thanks,
Jedi
