Mande,
I am borderline. I haven't read much on it lately because reading the same thing over and over again got boring but as of 8 months ago or so they were still investigating medications for borderline but up until then it appears that all they can do is medicate the symptoms as they appear ie. anti-depressants when you get depressed. I was given topamax-which is an anticonvulsant/mood stabilizer-but it didn't work out and my pdoc decided not to go that route by trying others. I was on remeron for four years and wellbutrin for 2. They worked well for me together but I still had the wild fluctuation of mood in conjunction with a triggering event every couple of days. It stinks. I am not depressed now and am sleeping again (Yippee!) so am off all meds. I have to wonder if they are concentrating on the bi-polar because it is something that can and must be regulated with medication where as the bpd is just a pain the the behind and difficult to deal with.
