> I've found, (from personal experience and studies on the net, google pramipexole and bipolar II) that BII's seem to respond well to DA's. I'd highly suggest trying Pramipexole - was a wonder drug for me till I tried another med and it didn't work 2nd time around :O( .
>In my personal experience, taking DA's was a disaster. No good effects and some fairly extreme bad effects, such as convulsions and catatonia. I also got Restless Leg Syndrome while taking these and it has only slowly dissapated over the years since I stopped trying them. (I bet I tried 15 or more.)
I did take Nardil for almost two years, which threw me into a pretty much ongoing hypomanic state. Looking back, this was also a bit of a disaster.
I was very relieved, actually, to get the BP II diagnosis, since it gave me some hope. I'm on Lamictal right now.
