I know the relief of being diagnosed. Too bad it's just the first step in dealing with it.

I of course went to seek help when I became depressed, and the anti-depressant (Lexapro) resulted in me becoming hypomanic, and when I finally got into the pdoc, and well, Bipolar Type 2.

Now I'm on 20 mg of Lexapro, and still on 25 mg of Lamictal (increasing to 100 mg over the next 5 weeks)

I'm a little confused as to why the doc said you didn't have to come back. Managing medication is a big part of what pdocs do, and I personally wouldn't trust my general practice doc to adjust meds that alter my brain chemistry.
