I did get a formal dx bpII - it was about 5 yrs with same pdoc. "Med-resistant recurring depression" yadda yadda... Then those periods where I thought I controlled the weather (so what big deal), and went from miss prudence to inappropriate sexually, over spending... I still totally question it all the time cuz I don't think those things are that weird really. I just always saw it as hey girls gotta cut loose sometimes! Then my bad depression crash happens & that's when I really need help, and the family history of suicide... So I take the lamictal until I feel better. This anti-depressant you're on - sounds horrible. I've taken some things that made me really irritable, it doesn't have to be like that. Maybe she thinks you're in a mixed state depression with big agitation. That med is not helping you. I hope you'll tell them to give you something else or try something else.
