Thanks for all your replies .
Out of shear frustration and asking my doctor (not P/doc) to refer me to my psychiatrist because I am fed up with being depressed. She told me that she doesn't want to put me on a flouxitine combo because of the risks of mania.
After thinking about this she is probably right.Anti depressants have a pretty bad reputation and success rate even though I am on Olanzapine which from experience I think this med puts a ceiling on
hypomania stopping me from going any higher.
So I decided I would take matters into my own hands and try SAM-e
even though it is not recommended for those diagnosed with Bipolar.
I took 400mg for the first three days before reducing my dose.
I felt great ! probably too great as I felt hypomanic.
on the fifth day I reduced my dose to 200mg and on the 8th 9th and tenth
days I stopped taking any.
My depression,Concentration, Chronic fatigue, motivation and productivity returned overnight on the fourteenth day (today) I started taking it again but at half the dose and I feel relaxed and mentally fine.
what is going on ? Its like a switch has been turned on in my brain.
Im a new man !
