Holy crap! When did Doc Orrange get up there? That makes me curious, has anyone talked to her specifically about BP?

starfish 05/27/2008

Dr. oRange has been here since the beginning...yes, I did ask her a queston once millenia ago...and she gave a very well informed answer, regarding if antidepressants were proven or not, to cause mania in BP's.

Chuggernaught 05/27/2008

what was her answer?

starfish 05/27/2008

In a nutshelll, it appears to be so, but it has not yet been proven.

Anti-D's seem to increase my depressive episodes,my Pdoc pulled me off Anti-D's ....and since then,just a few blips of depression,rather than staying in a mixed episode ,that lasted 4 years.

But it may have just been the end of a clycle, depression seems to be coming around again.

I take two Antid's and find they do help me to stay bright. Without them I think I would fall fast into that thick, treacly vat that is depression.

antidepressents cause me to go into a mania that lasts for months and usaully ends up with me in the hospital. I won't even sniff the box they come in anymore. Its my one way ticket to midnight.

I have to admit I think she's a better fit for the spokeswoman for DS over the Web-pit girl.

deleted_user 05/27/2008

Yes.

She has had a few Topics on here.
