I guess the bottom line is wheather you can find releif or improvement. The only thing I would caution against is the bipolar diagonosis. **It can be a death sentense.**
You can't convince a doctor you're *not* bipolar, cause the harder you try, and the more frustrated you get, the more you look like a bipolar!
Every doctor I go to now reads that chart which says "bipolar", and I can't get a second chance with antidpressants, even though things were a lot better with them than the mood stabilizers.
So I go to a new doctor, and they just want to load me down on lithium or tegretol, and that is not a fun life to live.
I just *cannot* break free of that diagnosis, and it makes my prospects look bleaker.
