Hi, particulates, and welcome to Psych Central! I've made the same kind of argument since my first manic episode was induced by an antidepressant. But evidently non-bipolar people don't have that happen? That's what I'm told, anyway--and they keep my "bipolar" label. I have had other manic episodes--but nothing really major. I still suspect these prescribed drugs cause most of my problems!

I'm glad you're problem free after twenty years. That tells me you're okay, as far as I'm concerned!
