I had a question for either of you. I've had a really bad episode where I've had my first delusional manic/mixed period. I went from hypomanic to this state from March of '08 to October of '08. I was then treated for with a antipsychotic. I was depressive and suicital during this period as well. (All was due to stopping my meds after 8 years of taking them). I'm just wondering why the depression is taking so long to get over? My old meds don't seem to work the way they used to. I'm hopeless about life to no end and fantasize about going all the time, though I don't think I could actually do it successfully. Is it possible that I'll stay this way? I've just had my lithium increased from 900mg to 1200mg, have been taking 150mg of Wellbutrin, and was given Lamotrigine -working up to 100mg- last week. I haven't been well for over a year. Any insight will help. Thanks. Hello,
