You should definitely tell your Doctor you have Bipolar II Disorder. I think you have already experienced Mania brought on my anti-depressants. The next one could end up being worse. You don't need to put yourself through that.

If you can try to get your medication from a Psychiatrist. Most educated Psychiatrists can prescribe medication that will work for your Depression, Bipolar and the personality disorder you mentioned in previous posts. I'm not up to date on clinical practice in Psychiatry but anticonvulsants have shown to work well in studies for BPD and Bipolar II.
