> Hi bob.. Well, they didn't admit me since I was not in crisis mode at the time, as many others were!! It is a government hospital, and they usually admit anyone even if you are not suicidal. It's free, and they have a detox unit, etc. I am in the U.S. (Florida). Anyways, they had no beds abailable and the visit didn't go too well, they wrote me a prescription for Wellbutrin after I told the psych doc several times that I've tried Wellbutrin before and it did NOTHINGGGG. I told her so many times, I have mood swings from HELL, I need a MOOD STABILIZER!!!!!!!

> She obviously wasn't listening. I have all the bipolar II symptoms, to the TEE. So, this is why I end up self medicating myself. I have no insurance, I have access to meds (samples). I will continue taking the lexapro at night, and add a mood stabilizer myself. I am thinking either Lamictal or Abilify. (I have tons of Abilify so I hope I read something good about it... so far it's nothing but negative responses).

>Man, that really sucks. I don't know how people who are really struggling are supposed to find help. What are we supposed to do?
