Thanks for answering, it's very important for me at this moment. My doctor didn't tell me explicitly what his diagnosis was but I think he thinks I could be bipolar II because the first thing he wanted me to take was Trileptal. He expressed also some perplexity about my self-diagnosis of ADHD because I have managed to get to the last year of high school without meds.
In my opionion I cannot be bipolar II, given the DSM-IV criterions, because I have never had an hypomaniac episode lasting three or more days, with the exception of the last time I quit Anafranil cold turkey. But this, also according to him, doesn't mean anything.
What remains is bipolar II-rapid cycling and/or adhd (and several personality disturbs).
The reason why he put me on Remeron he's still a a mystery for me. I asked him in a mail what was it for and he replied me "for anxiety". I can remember that the last time I saw him he asked me: "Do you have anxiety ?" and I replied: "Nope". Do I have latent anxiety maybe ? ;-)
Sorry for ranting ... so, Remeron worsened your depression and this is interesting given my situation ... what are taking now and what is your disturb ?
Thanks, you have been helpful
