HELP: Is it BP2 or AD poop-out????

Posted by indivmed on June 17, 2003, at 13:52:43

I'm a little confused as to whether or not I am indeed bipolar II or if I am atypical unipolar that seems to "poop-out" on meds. It was suggested that I was BPII because I would do really well the first couple of weeks (or months) then spiral into an even worse depression. Everyone is like, "oh, yeah, we've seen you hypomanic" but I think I just have a strong personality that tends to get a little hyper and obnoxious (more in a humorous way--well, humorous to me :)).

I say this because anytime I add a mood stabilizer to an AD, I get depressed. Most recently, I added Depakote to Wellbutrin and Parnate and ended up having a couple of really bad days. Usually for a day or two (at least with Depakote and Neurontin), they are calming for anxiety, but then I want to sleep all day and be morbid. I can handle being moody b/c it is transient, but when I'm depressed, I'm completely nonfunctional.

Does anyone have any experiences or thoughts???
