And then I get down on myself b/c I'm with someone in a LTR, but doing this side-thing.
So tell me ... does anyone else have these kinds of issues, and how do you deal with them?

In my treatment, it is known that antidepressants produce mania in we bipolar people. At the very least they cause us to rapid cycle. Sounds like your Dr is not up on the latest treatments. Anxiety......ativan....and a mood stabalizer like Lamictal and maybe Seroquel for sleep. Antidepressants!!! Absolutely no way. Do your own research and take it to your Dr. Good luck.
