I switched to Lamictal after Zyprexa shot my triglycerides over 900 but saved me from intense mood swings from PTSD. I have to admit, it isn't as effective as the Zyprexa, which handled my anxiety and did a better job on my depression ... but Lamictal's not chewing thru my pancreas either.
I found this site back when I was in Michigan and my PDoc there suggested Bipolar Spectrum. It described it in a much more "determinant" way than any other site I've seen since, and I can't find my way back to that one! =^( But some of the other things that had me nodding was "resistant to SSRIs" "but at least one manic episode triggered by an SSRI" "good response to TCAs" "good response to atypical antipsychotics", other than the depression-anxiety tag-team on your psyche.
