Cindylou
I was very interested to hear you mention that you had had unusual reactions to anti-depressant meds, and also that your doc had said that low energy, low motivation, sleep-alot depression are often bipolar II. I qualify with the depression stuff (plus have been manic of occasion) and have tried about 15 different AD meds without success and generally wierd responses:
eg ssri's and serzone/effexor made me feel very blank which blocked out everything but I couldnt think, had sort of muscle cramp/seizures with big dizzy spells on bupropian, and a host of other entertaining reactions to lots of differnt ADs, including my now 9 month reaction to a small amounnt of amphetamine.
Anyway, all of this to say I am interested in what sort of unsual reactions you have had on ADs. I am going to try lithium soon so interested in all background I can get
Regards
Alex
