I too, was dianosed about 5 years ago with Bipolar after an incident of mania. I tend to be more on the depression side, so without knowing I had bipolar I was give cymbalta and it made things so much worse! To make a long story short, I have been through different medications and doses and they have finally come up with the right cocktail. But it took time, therapy and more time.
It is not easy being diagnoised with bipolar. I was inpatient numerous times and no one saw it. Not until it got really bad.
Thank you for posting this, I hope other read it!

i was only in for one night and got out noon the next day i convinced the phsyciatrist i wasn't going to take all my pills too.....then they finally gave me my shoes and belt back....i told him that the doc actually over reacted but i know he was just covering his butt....the shrink told me to do 1 follow up with the doc and then go find a new one because family doctors shouldn't be prescribing anti-depressents without knowing what is actually wrong with you! i had that feeling too but i also felt like i was on top of the world and invinceable? hyper-active if you will everybody told me i wasn't acting like "myself" i felt wierd too...its all good now thank you so much godspeed hope you get better! i do yoga and eat healthier too that helps alot too
