If we can only control our moods. That would be so nice! But we cannot. Can we? I have found that ADs do not cause mania with me, even the potent combination of Fluoxetine and Bupropion. My doc tells me that it does not induce mania in most people with BP this way. It is unfortunate that this is not the case for everyone else. Such a powerful tool in the fight against depression. The problem with me is the marginal therapeutic effect that it does provide for me.

By the way, I do like your nickname!
