Brief Summary: This 62-week study will compare the safety and effectiveness of fluoxetine Prozac lithium the combination of these two medications and placebo in treating and preventing recurrent depressive episodes in people with bipolar type II disorder
Detailed Description: Bipolar II BP II disorder is characterized by a high recurrence of major depressive episodes MDE and it is associated with substantial illness and deaths Unfortunately relatively little attention has been given to treatment of BP II Concern that patients may switch from depressed to manic states during treatment of MDE has impeded the development of effective treatments for BP II MDE

BP II MDE patients are treated initially with fluoxetine for 10 weeks Patients who recover from MDE are then randomized to receive a relapse-prevention treatment of fluoxetine lithium a combination of fluoxetine and lithium or placebo for 1 year Patients undergo clinical and laboratory evaluations including physical examinations bloodwork thyroid function tests electrocardiogram ECG urinalysis and HAM-D YMR CGI-S CGI-I and adverse events scales
