> Doc asked if i ever was psychotic and manic, i said no. I think i was psychotic and mixed.So your psychosis is related to being in a mixed affective state? I have a hard time telling whether my untreated state (and treated state, to a lesser extent) consists of a mixed affective state with a psychotic mania overlapping with strong anergic depressive symptoms or whether it's basically a manifestation of schizophrenia. I lean toward the former explanation, as most medications tend to aggravate my depressive symptoms, my psychotic symptoms, or my irritability.
Treating mixed affective states can be tough, and I hope that adding nortriptyline to your regimen will help provide you with the kind of balance that you're looking for. Good luck with it.
