Those symptoms above are what made my doctor determine I was BPII...for years I just thought I was a little "wild".....I never had fulll blown mania.....mostly the above and major depression. I agree also with your doc. Treating BP is a bit of a crap shoot...especially the depression end of it..they seem to focus so much more on controlling the mania and in the process turn us into ghost of ourselves ( sometimes)...some of us do get lucky...we have to just persevere...I do think the Lamictal is worth a try....
