I was a little mad.
Anyway, if you had mania and the SSRI isn’t helping, it seems like lifting that drug would be the more suspicious drug to act on.
I thought lithium was a problem due to fatigue, but it is OK now that I’ve eased off my low dose of Seroquel (I was only on 25 mg for sleep). I’m only saying this because drugs act differently together vs. alone.
I’ve heard Lamactil is supposed to be really great for bipolar depression.

Thanks key tones. I agree.
I want to encourage the EMDR. I did it back in the mid-90's...my therapist was one of the first few trained by Francine Shapiro (the founder of EMDR, which was initially used for Vietnam combat vets). I found the technique helpful. I still use it sometimes. I hope it's helpful for you.
