> If shes truly classically bipolar, why not lithium and lamictal?
Hi,
From what we've seen, she may have bi-polar II. I don't see manic highs, and her depression is pretty well controlled right now.
She does have some trouble sleeping, eating, and she states that her moods cycle mildly all day. The most severe cycling of moods happened when Seroquel was tapered. (IMO, too quickly) She remains on 25mg Seroquel (w/ the Zoloft 100) and hasn't been officially diagnosed w/ bi-polar yet. But that's the definition of bi-polar II, yes? Mood swings?
My own pdoc stated, when I mentioned my daughter, that if there are mood swings, there's definitely bi-polar to some degree. Would that be a true statement?
Thanks - Laura
