Hello everyone. I was dx BPII in Sept 2005 although I had suspected it for some time. My first "manic" experience was in college when I was put on Prozac for depression (my dx then) 13+ years ago. My experience with my bad tdoc during that time kept me away from any pdocs or tdocs until this year. I also suffer from chronic migraines (2-3/week). I am currently on Lamictal, Paxil, Lyrica, Seroquel, Xanax, NuvaRing and Vicoprofen.

I have done alot of reading online and in books since my diagnosis. Trying to find any and all info that I can. It's always good to find those with same everyday struggles. Luckily my DH has been very supportive of me.

Good to be here.
