The doctor gave me a new anti-depressant June 10th, and by last Sunday I was out on a hypomanic shopping spree, and felt I could take on anything. I was diagnosed as Bipolar II and started on lithium Thursday, and now I'm crying over any and everything. My head hurts, and I feel "weird" can't describe it. They say lithium takes 1-3 weeks to work. What is going on here? I feel like a basket case, crying over every little thing.

Sounds like you're bipolar with the shopping spree - I've tried lithium and it did not do anything for me so don't be surprised if it doesn't work out. Keep trying different meds though - eventually one will work and you can stick with it and feel lifted and normal and not weepy anymore - you will know when you've got the right med.
