> remission in DSM terms is 6 months without symptoms.
> I have been in remission for most of the last 2 decades. doxipin then effexor+remeron and now Wellbrutrin have all worked. I credit as needed use of atavin as important in remaining in remission.OK, I must have misunderstood "remission". What I had was "relapse"[?]. And recovery[?] upon reinstatement of the right brand of lithium. BTW, here is an interesting side effect: for a short time (7 days) i had to take CIPRO the antibiotic. I became very depressed and quite ill, but the lithium protected me from reported even worse depression on this Antibiotic, for anyone taking it- be careful.
What is your diagnosis? And I take it that doxipin, effexor, and remeron with Wellbutrin have worked for you. And Ativin- for anxiety?
