>>>>>Dijmart, did your Pdoc not want to increase your AD above minimum because of it having caused severe depression? Or to keep it in balance with the others? Or both maybe?<<<<<<<

AD didn't "cause" my depression. He's not raising AD higher at this time because I was manic recently, not to keep it in balance with other meds.

Example: I was on celexa 20mg for yrs with seroquel and tegretol. During my manic episode celexa was decreased to 10mg, seroquel was increased and tegretol dose stayed the same.

He doesn't want me totally off an AD, because I use to have severe depression. But he has said that going off AD completely is an option, however he's not comfortable doing that at this time.
