Never mind. I can see why from reading your previous posts. Also, I see that Lamictal is not an option.
Topamax 100mg might be an option. It works well for bipolar II mixed states. Also, lithium in low dosages acts as an antidepressant. I need to find out if its effects on the kidneys and thyroid are dose-dependant. One doctor I asked said that they were not dose-dependent. I am still dubious, though. If these effects are dose-dependent, then I don't think you would have much to fear from the low dosages used depression.
I like Abilify for bipolar depression.
