Hi again karbybp2,

Thank you for your kind words...


I agree with CANDC about trying to go off cannabis to see if that has a positive effect on you. Does your pdoc (psychiatrist) know about your use? If not, it's worth discussing it, imo.

As for me, I had MDD for years and then became depression with psychotic features. Currently, I take 3 antidepressants (fluoxetine/Prozac, buproprion/Wellbutrin, mirtazepine/Remeron), plus Abilify 30 mg and Ativan.


If you want to learn more about my diagnosis, this is a scale for it:


Psychotic Depression Assessment Scale

Research behind the scale:
English PDAS | The Psychotic Depression Assessment Scale (PDAS)


I'd be curious to know more about your "hypomanic" episode... what was it like? what symptoms did you have? Have you ever been manic?


Maybe someone with BP2 will respond to this thread with more info about their experiences.
