What best med to take for 'soft' BiPolar II?

Posted by UgottaHaveHope on November 8, 2007, at 2:13:50

I came across the website which talks about "soft" Bipolar II and it sounds like me more than anything else I've ever read. For 10 years, I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder with underlying depression, but none of the SSRIs ever worked on me.

I had my first breakthrough on Seroquel two years ago, but when I had some life stressors hit me, the pdoc added EMSAM, along with keeping me on Seroquel (100mg) and Klonopin (3-4mg). Hearing Nardil was better for anxiety, I tried that this summer and had a great two months, feeling the best since all this started. I made the mistake of dropping from 15 to 45mg of Nardil in June, and when some life stressors hit me in August, I had a relapse and am still there. I had to move back in with my parents. I went back to 45mg Nardil for five weeks and now am on my third week of 60, for a total of eight weeks. Im not feeling anything yet, not like before. It took 9-10 weeks last time on Nardil, well my first time on Nardil.

But now after reading this website I am beginning to think I have been Bipolar II all along, and thats why no AD really worked, and Nardil still hasn't kicked in after eight weeks. When you read this, I am thinking more ppl might be like me. What would you do? Drop the Nardil and go back to Seroquel only? Go 2-3 more weeks on Nardil? Right now, its 60mg Nardil, 300mg Seroquel and 3-4mg Klonopin. Thanks, Michael
