> Everyone I told my story to became convinced that it must be bipolar. I assume they figure this due to my great reaction to the lexapro so early.
Well, I had the same reaction. Not so much from your reaction to lexapro, but rather your general description of your problems. My layman's understanding is that bipolar people are more likely to "act crazy". However, I am not qualified to make a diagnosis, much less from a brief written post, LOL.
> When I met with the MD there, he decided it wasn't bipolar. He diagnosed me with depression and adhd. He prescribed me 100mg wellbutrin sr, once a day.
I would urge you to find a very good diagnostic specialist, maybe at a psychiatric clinic or a research-oriented university facility, if the wellbutrin doesn't work well. You need a highly qualified person to sit with you and take a really thorough history, someone who will listen for a couple of hours before making conclusions.
