I'll take a chance and go against the grain of thought here. I'm much less worried about specific labels for disorders than I am about treating symptoms as they arise. If you're on a cocktail that is "out of the ordinary" for your label and it works for you, then who cares what it's called?
I've been diagnosed at various times with GAD, PTSD, MDD, BP2, and BP1. The most consistent diagnosis has been BP, and through the years the typical treatment for that has seemed to work the best, so it's what I accept as the "correct" diagnosis. That being said, if next they come up with calling it "Sheep-F*ucker's Syndrome", I wouldn't really care as long as the treatment worked.
Regarding the fact that you seem to be getting higher on an AD, that is definitely worthy of a conversation with your doctor. It could be indicative of the kindling effect, and believe me you don't want that to happen. That is a serious situation that needs medical treatment, sooner rather than later.
