thanks jedi for the suggestion. i've tried the big 5 atypicals (abilify, geodon, seroquel, risperdal, and zyprexa) all at some point, usually in combination with other meds, although I'm finding it hard to remember exactly what those combos were. In general, all give were effective in treating and preventing mania; none of them alone helped much with depression. At one point, my pdoc tried to increase my Seroquel from 100 to 300mg at night, but that made me so sluggish that i could hardly get out of bed the next day let alone function. my overall impression of the atypicals is that they seem to establish a ceiling on my mood but not a floor. or at least they don't help me get up from the floor. still if you have any ideas i'm missing, i'd appreciate them. Thanks! cb
