That's interesting, well, interesting and frustrating. :( You do have some simlarities with me, I think, although BP has never been a conisderation for me--it's pretty clear that I am MDD w/ GAD. I have been having a very hard time finding the right thing for me to treat my depression.
My pdoc (who is wonderful, thank goodness) has been adding med after med on top of each other, so I take quite a combo. It seems like everything works for me a little, but not enough. So we don't want to lose the positive part by taking it out. This is what I take:
lexapro (40mg)
neurontin (300mg, 600mg, 300mg)
ambien (5mg)
dexedrine (15mg)
desipramine (125mg)
lithium (600mg)You really might consider Li. It made a pretty dramatic change for me (although I should note that I tried to go up to 900mg and that was a disaster).
Oh, I also can relate to the anxiety w/ 75 mg WB. That happened to me too. Prozac also was bad for me, but other SSRI's have been okay. Who knows.
I don't know if that is helpful, but I hope it is. Good luck finding the right meds.
Best,
EE
