I hate when doctors don't listen. I have been lucky with pdocs and they usually let me decide on meds or they suggest something and I go along. I think I am bi polar II or just under it but I don't have that official diagnosis. I was having rapid cycling and he suggested Lamicatal so I went on it. He didn't mention bi polar II so I am not clear if he did it for that or as an augmenter for depression. I keep meaning to have that conversation. Medical doctors are the ones for me who don't seem to listen.

I don't think having trouble sleeping when doing well qualifies for bi polar II. It would take more symptoms. You have to fit into the little box. You could list all the reasons why you think that. Or you could argue that you think Lamictal would help your depression. Lamictal is quite popular with pdocs these days.
