Hi there, a few suggestions... start a mood stabilizer first like trileptal, lamictal, or Depakote (just a few examples). Also use a benzo (as needed, but cautiously) to control panic symtpoms. Then perhaps consider adding in a tiny dose of an ssri to start.. too much = hypomanias and/or anxiety. For example, consider a 1/4 to a 1/2 tab of the smallest dose, take it for a few weeks, then titrate slowly. Another option is an AP. I love 'em, but akathisia is a problem for me that I cannot tolerate.
> Try Lyrica, and Neurontin high dose. These will solve 75% of your problems most likely. Enjoy.
