In reply to Best meds for Bipolar Depression?, posted by TrishP on November 7, 2006, at 6:42:41
Trish,My bipolar is depression dominated. The best AD hands down for me has been effexor. Past AD's I trialed have been imipramine, prozac, paxil, desipramine, wellbutrin, parnate, remeron. Lithium as a mood stabilizer made me too flat. The best relief I got was combining and ssri with a tca along with a mood stabilizer, then effexor came out which targets seretonin and norepinephrine. Monotherapy with an ssri or a tca made me cycle too much. Effexor works great for me.
