> Hi, Bob. I'll jump in for a moment. Back this past February, I was pretty much where you are and came to this board (you've got to go back a little distance in the archives). Anyway, I had actually been "washing out" on all ADs in preparation for the trial of an MAOI. I had come to the researched conclusion that I would likely respond to an MAOI, and the one I had chosen was to be Parnate. EVERYTHING I learned agreed with what SLS has posted here.

> Anyway, I was having one of the hypomanic bounces off of the ADs, so I took a drug holiday instead and had since tooled around with other ADs, etc., to the usual avail (i.e. little to no success).

> I know that an MAOI will and can always be a tried, trued and tested (for others) option for me.

> However, I have since begun a new experiment which seems to be working okay so far. Please see the topiramate (Topamax) thread (above, right now) to follow the story. You should find it of interest.Irony of Ironies! I'm trying Topomax also! I'm taking it with Celexa right now. I've been on it for a little over two weeks. You refer to a Topomax thread, but I can't seem to find it.
