Hi underthewave!
I also live in the dc area, age 35. No kids yet!
I'm not quite as much of a medhead. (or a former deadhead for that matter;->). I'm on Lamictal, Provigil, which I hate and hardly ever take, celexa, and about to start topomax.
After a miscarriage and postpartum with some psychosis I was upgraded from depression to bipolar II.
Did you ever have postpartum issues?
You sound like you're doing really well. Do you feel like you've regained your footing for the most part?
I'm about to turn to alternative approaches such as biofeedback, accupuncture, etc. Tell you the truth, I've tried accupuncture at a highly regarded clinic (the Kaplan Clinic) in our area, and as far as I can tell it did nothing. Accupressure might be the thing. As you know, it's easy to pour money down the drain chasing these things.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear from another DC person!
