About the Bipolar Issue. I've thought about it. But there are more things that doesn't convince me. First of all as you said I've been on and off meds. I got hypomaniac for the first time for a consistent period of time the last time I stopped Anafranil. But this could mean nothing I think, just a withdrawal reaction (no side effects anymore plus antidepressive effects still lasting). The second think is that even if I'm sometimes hypomaniac my cicles are very short ... I can go up and down many times in a day but it depends strongly on what happens to me. Anyway, I'll try to read more on the subject because it intrigues me very much. I must I have somewhere that Bipolar II get irritable while on Antidepressants. And that's what happens to me. So I have to continue searching and learning.
Do you think that lithium (or similar) could take care also of my attention-problems ? Is the treatment for Bipolar II similar to that of Bipolar I ? (lithium and so on ?)
