I know you've been around a while so maybe you've had people tell you various things before, i can't remember sorry.

I'm afraid I'd not go near lithium for any reason cuz' horror stories I've heard.
> > antidepressants may not work well for bipolar depression>
But no one has dx'd me bipolar. Currently PTSD, atypical depression, think pdoc dropped off the borderline.

It does sort of trigger an agitated feeling alongside the wakefulness.
