Ok, so I have had a history of depression spanning back into my early childhood, and while I feel little or no depression right now it does come back upon occasion. When I am not depressed I am energetic and highly talkative, frequently ranting and raving about various topics. However when I am depressed I get a surge of anxiety that prevents me from going about normal day to day behaviors.
My question is, does this sound in any way like Bi-Polar disorder. If it does has anyone had a bad experience with Lithium? or are there any analogs?
If it doesn't sound like Bi-Polar then what would you say it is? I have tried Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, and Effexor and had bad reactions to all of them, and MAOI's are not a choice for me because I enjoy medical use of Marijuana as a stress releif medication.
What is the proper choice in my delima? I know many of you may not be doctors and I will take your advice with a grain of salt, but all input is appreicated.
Thank you, Neolime
-edit- Add Lexapro to the list of anti-depressants that didn't work out for me.
