So, my mother was diagnosed with Bipolar II a while ago, and as much alike as I am like my mother, we figured it was a slam dunk that I have it too (not to mention much of the rest of my family). Unfortunately, I don't have insurance, so, really getting diagnosed is sort of out of the question. But, my mom works at a hospital, and one of the doctors there did her a solid and basically saw me for free, and long story short, I've been on an anti-seizure drug called Lamotrigine for a few weeks now. Apparently anti seizure medications have been found to treat Bipolar. I'm up to 150 milligrams, and not much difference yet, but I'm optimistic.
