I am also BP and BPD....have been on lots of different meds for the BP over the years....took myself off meds for over 8 yrs....was diagnosed with the BPD a few months ago...I am only on meds for the anxiety and panic right now...not BP meds...which surprised me...but I am working through all of this will help from a T and my pdoc.... I'm not sure of the labels that the docs use...and in the long run...it doesn't really matter...If it works and I can function better as a person...feel more whole and in control...that's all that matters....good luck on your journey too....take care now
