I would really like to know more about this Bipolar III thing as well. The first thing I'd like to know is how the chemical changes caused by long term antidepressant use managed to get classified as a new form of Bipolar Disorder rather than a potentially AWFUL side effect of the antidepressants! It really scares me because the drug I'm adding to treat the SSRI induced Bipolar III (Geodon) hasn't been used for treating Bipolar that long so who knows what the long term side effects are for it. Am I going to take Geodon and have it work for a while and then, when it stops working, get diagnosed with the yet to be created atypical anti-psychotic induced "Schizophrenia IV"? Where does it end!
