MM. I presented to my dr first with my first depression and was given paxil, went into crazy mania that my dr didn't know about, he saw me when I crashed overnight straight from mania into my second depression that year and that's when I got my bp diagnosis and lamictal. I get the different personality part too, which my husband has no idea what that is...I just call it psycho***** when they show up whether down or up and tell him I'm thinking crooked thoughts.

I am so sorry you have had to go through so much in addition to the diagnosis
