Just curious -- what makes you "BP 2"? I guess I'm a bit skeptical of this category. I could easily have been diagnosed as such (but haven't been), and it seems to me to be a much more subjective diagnosis than BP 1 (which I know is real, based on experiences of a couple of friends who really do show the extreme mood swings, grandiosity, etc.). I'm not challenging your diagnosis, since I'm not qualified to do so, but it just seems like BP 2 has become a catch-all for hard-to-treat patients who happen to respond poorly to newer ADs such as SSRIs.
