Hey Ross,
This whole Bipolar II fad upsets me. Several years ago when only lithuim was availible, psychiatrist where pretty reluctant to diagnose bipolar disorder unless they were confident about it. Now, with a whole slew of new meds for bipolar disorder, anyone who does not respond to an SSRI or effexor is labeled soft bipolar or bipolar II. Bipolar disease is a specific illness, with characteristic highs and lows ..... and not everyone with mood instablity not responding to meds should be labeled as bipolar spectrum.
I wish you the best of luck with your new doc and lithium. Remember, nardil and parnate will be availible if lithium is not sufficient.
