Hello,
I have bipolar depression and insomnia, I've tried almost all the AAPs except Saphris and Latuda, they don't sell them in my country, so If I would like to try them I would have to buy them overseas.
I have tried the mood stabilizers Trileptal and Tegretol and had asthma problems, also tried Lamictal gives me pruritus and worsen the insomnia, also Valproate that makes me feel more depressed.
Not tried Lithium, my pdoc consider it to be too toxic.
My question is this:
My pdoc says that in the pharmacology area, we are run out of options, so he is telling me to consider intensive CBT to combat my depression.
Would you say that it is worth to make an effort economically and also commiting myself to the therapy, to get some results that might be very poor ?
Do you think that CBT could be worth the effort ?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
