Hi again Kelly,
Bipolar 2 is used for people who only become hypomanic not manic. Mania usually results in hospitalization (sometimes psychoses and/or delusions). When you don't have a mood stabilizer in place and take an anti-depressant (like effexor or celexa) you run the risk of inducing a manic state, which happened to me on prozac. Do you know why you're not taking a mood stabilizer- lithium, depakote, tegretol are the big 3, but there are others. Take care.
