I am no pdoc, but I sure have had an s-load of resistant depression over many decades. I would be dead now were I not on an antidepressant. Is there a reason you are not? People seem to think it is impossible for any bp1 person to ever be on an AD without becoming manic. That is just not factually accurate.
Sending you love and support.

Thanks again. I’ve tried at least a dozen AD’s and they tend to send me into hypomania, or mania, then mixed. None made me stable and took away the depression for long. Ziprasidone is what took away my depression, mixed states, and psychosis. I haven’t been depressed since I began taking it. I don’t think I’m depressed now. That may sound odd considering the SI, but I can still enjoy things, have motivation, and keep good hygiene. The fact that I am prevented from doing what I’m motivated to do gets me down. I see my pdoc in a week so I will see what he has to say.
Oh, and I’ve been on mood stabilisers when trying the antidepressants.
