You're not insane, just BP. The question for you is whether or not you are BPI or BPII. The meds to treat I and II are markedly different, but there are a few overlapping meds too.
Good luck in your journey to mental wellness...keep posting and don't give up...it took me 10 long years (much of my past could substitute for yours) to finally get the correct diagnosis, BPII.
Regardless of your diagnosis, take your fish oil...I recommend Carlson's fish oil. You can buy it at www.mercola.com. It's good for your brain regardless of your diagnosis. Also, take your vitamins, try to limit caffeine, and go for a walk once a day...I swear by this formula.
BTW, the med that worked for me is Geodon.
