Can you tell me what your symptoms were to diagnose BPII? I am currently taking 10mg of Lexapro for depression, but I'm having a lot of thoughts of suicide/homicide that are disturbing that I have never had before. This all just started out of the blue about 3 weeks ago, so I'm not sure if I'm on the right drug or not. Thanks a lot for your help!

> I could be wrong but I really think that the reason you are not responding to the Unipolar meds (SSRIs) is b/c you are Bipolar. Also, your paranoia and thoughts coincide with this diagnosis as well. I know, I am BPII and I share in your thoughts and feelings...and responses to the meds you are taking. I tried Geodon and it has been a miracle drug...no more crazy paranoid thoughts...please inquire about it...it doesn't have the weight gain that Zyprexa and Risperdol do...please seriouly look into it. Glad you are getting help! Keep posting!!!
