So I had my first ever pdoc appointment today ... and she is fairly confident I have Bipolar II. I have been seeing a therapist for 5 months for what we thought was PTSD. Now I am just so confused.
I am 43 years old, and when I had my eldest son 8 years ago it started a roller coaster of ups and downs emotionally, and when I tried two different types of antidepressants in the last year they backfired big time causing extreme hyper arousal, sexual issues, unable to handle work stress, the list goes on.
She wants me to start on Epival, at a compounded pharmacy low dose and see how I do. Has anyone tried Epivine?

Its been less than an hour since I left her office - I don't know what to do with myself. She wants me to do some research into bp2 and Epival, talk to those I trust and then I go back to see her in a few weeks to decide if I should start the drug. I don't know what to do.
