I am not hung up on the labels. Not currently seeing T, but she saw me two or three times during a long hypomanic episode, as did my pdoc at the time. Lamictal has flattened me out pretty well. My pdoc left and I see someone else at her former practice now that has never seem me hypomanic or more than slightly depressed (at which time she bumped my lamictal). She has commented that if she didn't trust Ann's judgement she would want to re-evaluate. It's kind of weird - the pros know there is no cure, only symptomatic relief, yet when they get that working pretty well they start having doubts about the diagnosis. What is especially strange about that is that they warn us not to do that' the cycle of stopping meds because things are going well, crashing and gettin back on meds is rampant with bipolar (especially bipolar 2).
