> Just out of interest, was the Abilify to combat mixed episodes, Scott?

I was using Abilify exclusively as an adjunct for depression, not for mania or mixed states. However, since I do have a history of drug-induced mania, I was comfortable having Abilify there just in case. Maybe the lithium I am taking will help prevent a manic reaction. I really don't know. However, I don't feel at all manic at the moment.

In the past, I have had two drugs work very well to combat manic states - Depakote and Zyprexa.

Interestingly, I have seen Topamax (100mg) monotherapy work well to control mixed states. This person began to function even better once lithium (900mg) was added.
