HOK,

I know your message wasn't intended for me but I had to write considering that I am in the same boat. It looks like I am dealing with a BP II diagnosis after one year of drug trial hell. I recently had a complete thyroid profile and everything came back normal (it was low 15 months ago after delivering a baby and I was on thyroid meds).

I also seem to go from feeling "normal" to feeling agitated, anxiious and depressed and these moods cycle every few days. I am up to 1200mg Trileptal, which is my target dose, and have been on this dose for the past two days. I am also on 50 mg of zoloft and 18 mg of strattera and like you, am wondering if I should ditch the AD's since I have no idea what they are doing. I don't know if they are exacerbating the symptoms or what. I think Mitch makes a good point....work with one med at a time.

Anyway, I hope you keep me posted as to what is helpful to you.

Take Care,

Nicole
