Hi again
I remembered the other thing I was going to mention when I saw your post. My pdoc said that using anti-anxiety meds with BP2 was usually not a good way to go (I'm not sure why..something about them creating more problems even if they seem to help..my big problem with them is that they have a side effect of depression... so when I'm depressed AND anxious I don't know whether to take them or not. Will it just make it worse?)

Anyway, he said BP2 can look like depression with generalized anxiety and that a better course of treatment for the anxiety/agitation is an atypical antipsychotic (I'm on Seroquel)

Hope that info helps
