Hey, I've got some personal experience with bipolar disorder myself, clinically diagnosed. PTSD, too. Anyway, I'd highly recommend he you and he do some research on SSRIs, as they have been shown to have little positive impact on bipolar disorder. In fact, they can actually increase the occurrences of manic episodes. Of course, speak to medical professionals before you make any changes or even any assumptions on his personal treatment. I'm rather shocked his doc doesn't know this or at least hasn't considered this for your pop. Is he seeing a clinical psychiatrist or just a PCP? I highly recommend he see a highly-rated psychiatrist to dial in his meds. Please do this! It can make all the difference in the world.

Shoot me a PM if you have any questions from someone suffering from something extremely similar. The symptoms you described sound similar to mine. I'm sure you know, but maybe you need to be reminded, he is suffering and very challenged to live a normal life.

Once I graduate beyond New Member, I plan to post the details of my first massive dose of DMT (~55mg) for additional discussion. This was two weeks ago and I'm looking forward to sharing the story with the community and anyone willing to engage in a discussion.
