Nothing unfortunate about having the BP dx. This stuff still isn't all that well understood and they are not always right, God knows. I had a pdoc that was convinced there was nothing wrong with me, and that I was just over-tired . When that proved to be untrue she thought I was BPD and OCD. She had me on six meds, it was rediculous. I ditched her and found a highly recommended pdoc. After going through my history it was pretty clear to him that I have BP. He also agreed that the previous doc's Dx's were off the mark. He was also shocked by the fact that she had me on effexor, wellbutrin, and a ton of other stuff at the same time. Now I am down to two meds, and I am much better off.

I should have walked out on my previous pdoc after the first visit. She thought that I had some sort of developmental disability because I was speaking slowly and was tired. Um...does that remind anyone of depression?!! What a twit. And her office reeked of cat pee.

Anyway, my point is...pdoc isnt always right. You can always get a second or third opinion.

But werent you rambling aimlessly last week? What was going on then? Were you having other hypomanic "symptoms"?

If you dont have BP then that is great. If you do have it, you will have to deal with it eventually. I just dont want you to get comfortable and then all of the sudden get hit hard by depression. I guess what I'm saying is- be careful and I wish you the best.
