Hi rainbowlight,
I think this is so well said by Dr. Goldberg, so read this first:

And second,
make sure you are working with an experienced psychiatrist who knows how to treat someone like you! There is hope! Hey, have you ever been on an MAOI? Having the right doctor is very important! Here are a couple of links that could be helpful. The first one is a referal database of doctors who specialize in bipolar disorder and the second is Dr. Goldberg's list of the best doctors in the United States (you may need one of the best!):

Jonp.s. Here's a couple more links that could be helpful... The first one is a topic archive of questions and answers relating the the bipolar spectrum, etc. and the second is a sight maintained by Dr. Phelps all about bipolar II:
