Rapid Cycling Friendly 'Antidepressants'

Posted by robxblue on March 14, 2013, at 11:34:07

Hi Everyone,
I have Bipolar unspecified, Rapid cycling. My manic symptoms are well controlled, I'm just continuing to cycle into bad depressions. Problem is, almost all antidepressant-like substances bring on mania (insomnia, euphoric mood, etc). For example, NAC and Vitamin B12 supplements bring on mania for me, as does regular coffee etc. and all medications that increase mono amines, except I seem to like GABA increasing meds like Lunesta and Ativan
I'm wondering if you all have any suggestions on other options including supplements or somatic therapies to help depression without triggering mania and cycling?
I currently take:
Tegretol 600mg
Keppra 250mg
Lithium 450mg
Neurontin 900mg
Thanks so much!
Rob
