Bipolar II -

I had been on almost all AD meds,as well as combinations thereof, for years and years.
In time, I was diagnosed as BPII. My current pdoc claims that if a panel of experts gathered anywhere in the U.S., they would tell the practitioners that the goal with BPII clients is to eventually get onto a mood stabilizer only, preferably lamotrigine.

That said, sometimes people need AD meds. I had found Celexa was a good one for me. It really calmed agitation for me. However, my new pdoc felt it was keeping me from reaching maximum stability. We dropped it once I was on a good dose of lamotrigine.
