Prescribed Zoloft before I was diagnosed Bipolar II, without lamotrigine & methylphenidate I've lost jobs, been kicked out of college, spent 6 months with major depressive episodes (~20 down days, 4 up days on avg,) and Zoloft was absolutely insane. My ideology is already if you're not successful by 29 and still depressed, might as well suicide. Zoloft brought that down to thinking "41 steps to the loaded shotgun" and a lot of preparation for it. Lamotrigine & methylpheniate have been good for me for the 6 months I've been prescribed them, but recently methylphenidate has not been helping, and i'm starting to spiral again.
