!Hi, I'm not too familiar with being in a forum or exactly how to send/reply to messages and posts. Sorry if this doesn't read properly. I've read some of your responses and then your profile and it sounds that you and I have much in common with our mental issues. I have been diagnosed with a myriad of psych. disorders the last being Bipolar ll. I have severe depression and RARELY any mania. When I do experience mania, it's only mild and it's such a relief from the ongoing depression. I wanted to ask if you know of medications that are more pron to bring you out of depression and into a manic state. I appreciate any help/advice you can give. Thanks :)

Just a quick note to say hi! seemingly neurontin is prescribed by neurologist rather than pdocs. i have a russian friend in BP he takes gabapentin regularly since he was dx. he said it's the main solution because bp is a deficiency in gaba and a fluctuation in the dopamine. i have a question for you. i started lithium 2 days ago then stopped it is awful i didn't sleep severe insomnia, lot of people say this, anyway. i consulted another pdoc he said depakote. i think both are bad. lamictal in my view is best but i had no success with it. now i am thinking of sticking to seroquel monotherapy, because i tolerate it well. my dose was subtherapeutic so i will increase it to a therap dose. instead of the mood stabilizers that are risky. what do you think.
