wow Matt...when i read your first post i had to make sure i didn't write it. I was Dx with BP2 last fall and seconded just a few weeks ago by pdoc. Since then i've told a few people, and those that i thought would be my best support are sure that it's all in my head. This has messed with me a little and even though this Dx explains A LOT about my behavior since i was 14 there is a part of me that just wants to be SURE. i've written down several questions that are making me wonder and i'm going to ask my pdoc on wednesday.
I too have primarily hypomanic episodes these can last a few days or a few months, i've only had 1 major depressive episode (did effect work in bad way) but i had a lot in my life at time...maybe just stress?? However, i'm feeling the depression back since i've started these new drugs...part of me wonders is it the drugs that could have brought this on?
I also am reverse i go from D-M-I rather than mania first.
-I guess my advice to you would be similar to what i plan to do this week. Ask you doc these questions. tell him why you're not sure make him/her explain exactly why they've labeled you Bp2.
if you were better on effexor why did you stop?
i tried it first and it made me cycle Real Fast and extreme! i still don't remember much of November. Currently on strattera (ADHD)and Symbyax.
B2c.
