The 2nd P-doc said I didn't meet criteria for BP being that the time my mood fluctuates is right before my cycle after I start I level out. I can't take birth control pills because I smoke. I take all sorts of vitamin supplements to help with the pmdd with no luck. Reason 3rd p-doc is going with bipolar is because the SSRI's AD I been given makes me really manic and he said people with bipolar respond negatively to AD's. Thanks for that link, I will read through it. I really really think this is more hormonal and linked to my cycle causing the mood disturbances.
