Eek, that's a lot of meds. What kind of personality disorder? My guess is either severe manic depression or paranoid schizophrenia. Am I right?

I've been diagnosed with moderate-to-severe hypercyclic depression in the past (go from normal to depressed several times a year, sometimes in a matter of hours). However, I've been able to deal with it without the use of drugs for over a year and a half now and I've never felt better. I've been on paxil, wellbutrin, depakote, zoloft among others.. IMO drugs are only really helpful if you have either a very severe mental disorder or you are one of the few who have more positive effects from the drugs than negative.

That sounds a lot like me. I'm fine for several months at a time and then some little thing will dump me on my ass mentally for several weeks. I "treat" this mostly through exercise.....getting 10+ hours per week in on the bike does wonders for keeping me even-keeled.
