Sorry to hear of your troubles...it's no fun at all when you try and try and things don't get any better.

Since you are not getting any better, you should definitely seek another opinion. It is very common for bipolar to be misdiagnosed. If I were in your shoes I would start keeping a mood chart (you can find them around on the net) to show your pdoc when you see him, to document your cycles.

I hope you get the help you need...things can get better!
