I'm bipolar 2 and lithium made my downs deeper and depakote just made me fat. What's left for bipolar when you're mostly depressed and your manic episodes only consist of a week or so of supreme pissed-offness and nothing fun.
What else is there that I can try that will control the depression cuz that's really all I need help with. I'll meditate or something to control the agitation and irritablility. If only I could get rid of the depressive episodes. They seem to last forever and the manic only lasts for a miniscule amount of time.
Got anxiety too but I take a benzo for that.
any ideas....anyone???
thanks
