In reply to Bipolar II? Just what is this??, posted by fionamck on May 8, 2006, at 7:52:36
Your post could've been written by me. I've been diagnosed either Bipolar II or Bipolar NOS (not otherwise specified - when they don't really know what flavor of bipolar it is). I'm on 500mg Depakote, 150mg Wellbutrin and just upped my Cymbalta from 60 to 90mg. I have periods of hypomania (the happy, euphoric kind) for as long as 1 1/2 months then it abruptly ends and I'm depressed but not horribly depressed. But the the hypomania was so wonderful that the change makes me feel worse than if I'd just been ok and not hypomanic. Do you know what I mean?
If the increased Cymbalta doesn't work to lift me back to hypomania or just ok, then my pdoc will increase the Wellbutrin.
I wish you luck. Be well.
