Some folks are out there above 20mg/day, but having tried the 20, I'm going back down to 10. I can't say anything good has happened while on 20. I'm "overdriven" and it's wearing me out.

I do take seroquel at night 25-50mg and would like to ween off that stuff too.

Saw the pdoc yesterday and now he things I may be BPII? What the heck? Puhleeeze. My wife is a therapist and deals with BPIIs all week and laughed when she heard that Dx.

Pdoc suggessted ramping down the lex from 20 to 10 (over a couple of weeks), which I will do.
But there's no way I am going to take Depakote.

I've read where there is considerable overlap in the diagnostic criteria b/w GAD and BP2, but I just don't see being BP2. Maybe I am in denial, (wife as well). Not sure what to do.

Aaarrrgh. I've spent a lot of money with this guy so far. We went from "anxiety adjustment disorder" (i suspected GAD) to now BP2. This thing is starting to take on a life of it's own.

Help!
