Well, it's official. Based on my history and my current symptoms, I'm told that it doesn't really matter what flavor of bipolar I am, I'm definitely bipolar.
Pdoc gave me the Risperdal back -- I had done well on it for years before the last guy took me off it in favor of something with a better side effect profile, even though I never had a single side effect from Risperdal. I am trying hard not to take half the bottle NOW to get some relief.
I go back in 6 weeks, and she gave me referrals to a couple of potential T's. Guess there's nothing to do now but wait and see. Thanks to everyone who's helped me out in here. I guess this is my new home, hey?
