Hi there. I've been down a similar path. I was diagnosed with bp 2, depression and possibly OCD two months ago. I'm on the same drug as you (50mg for 3 weeks-some diarhea-now 100mg).
My life has completely changed. I will say that I am going for therapy with a councillor and I have a high EQ. I've spent my life analyzing my emotions and I'm very open and sensitive. I think this helps me to sort through my issues better.
But the drugs? Jesus, The Universe and The Flying Spaghetti Monster have fcuk all on the drugs. Changed everything.
Good luck!
