Hi there and welcome. You have really come to the right place - for support and information. You have us to talk to, and will be surprised how much it helps. I suffer from BP II, and mainly battle with depression. I was hospitalised once to start my meds, and once after a suicide attempt following severe depression - so I really do understand.
Allow your tablets time to work. Monitor your moods and side effects constantly. Keep your T and pdoc informed. The most important thing now is patience and tenacity. Keep going until the correct med combo has been found and don't give up hope - it does exist!

HUGS
