Pumpkin - I just got a diagnosis of bp2 too. I knew that was what it would be though... but still didn't like hearing that the psychiatrist agreed with me.

Anyway. I started on sertraline as an anti-depressant because I did NOT disclose everything to my GP when I went to her for the depression. It was a HORRIBLE IDEA. I hadn't known until a day or so after starting the AD that it could send me right into a hypomanic state - which it did, within a few days of starting it. That was the start of May and it's the end of June and I'm only JUST somewhat getting out of it - my sleep habits in particular are still pretty effed up.

I've just started lamictal myself.
