I wonder if you might be better off on an MAOI like phenelzine or tranylcypromine or something like that.What are these MAOI's? I'm not familiar with them as typical ones used in the USA. MAOI's are the one class of ADs I've never tried, and I'm very leery of the dietary restrictions. Aren't there newer reversable ones that that are more forgiving?
One other (probably crucial) point in all this is that my mail order pharmacy didn't get my lithium prescription refilled for over a week and I ran out during this time. I think some of my earlier hypomanic symptoms were due to this - recall the dancing for hours a few nights ago, needing less sleep, life is dazzzzzling. I become like an over-reactive fuse during these times and the scales are easily tipped. I just received my pills and started taking them again this afternoon, so even though this may add new variables to the *research* data, the lithium seems to be a necessary parameter.
