> Well, I had the same reaction. Not so much from your reaction to lexapro, but rather your general description of your problems. My layman's understanding is that bipolar people are more likely to "act crazy". However, I am not qualified to make a diagnosis, much less from a brief written post, LOL.

You need a highly qualified person to sit with you and take a really thorough history, someone who will listen for a couple of hours before making conclusions.
