I'm glad you're on the road to finding some help! I cannot take antidepressants - they are at best ineffectual and at worst send me into mania. When you get a doctor ask about mood stabilizers. He or she may want to prescribe an antipsychotic but for me they are also useless without a mood stabilizer also. Plus they're not good for long term use unless necessary to contain psychosis. In that case the benefits may outweigh the risks.

I hope you get a pdoc appt soon.
