I was diagnosed 3 or 4 years ago (its a bit of a blur) undiagnosed for 7
I have been on so many different drugs since then, to say my BP is treatment resistant is a bit of an understatement I also seem to be able to get every single side effect possible (including hypo and hyper thyroidism with Lithium!!!!)
My doctor is great - specialises in BP pharmacology... and things definitly have improved since then.
I normally only get anxious when I'm in a bit of a mixed episode... so I think this happened cos the depression was fighting it out with the new AD... I think the AD won ... but it was pretty messy for a bit and I so don't have the time to get depressed right now!!!!!

Thanks for all your kind words and support
