Bipolar RX: Bipolar 2. Tried MANY meds, even mood stabilizers. There is never any middle ground, just severe depression, or mild depression plus hypomania. Why?! ANS: Bipolar disease is a complex disease and may take a long time to get correct Rx. You did not mention Lithium. Discuss with your Drs. Review your problems and concerns and perhaps ask 4 referral to someone who takes care of difficult Bipolars.
