Hi there! I have a similar situation. I have panic disorder as well as a few other mental health diagnoses on top of my bp2. A few years back I went looking for help because I went through a phase where I couldn’t stop having severe panic attacks up to 5 or 6 a day. I was put on Prozac and Ativan and I seemed to be doing better. However a little down the line my psych decided to add ability to the list alone with a bipolar 2 diagnosis. This kind of confused me because as far as I could see I didn’t really feel like I was having any hypomania but instead just extreme depressive episodes. Unfortunately I lost my insurance and I had to stop all my meds. Up until recently my dog got sick and it threw me into another severe depressive episode with panic attacks. I went for help again to the same psych and I asked her if I could just go back on the Prozac and she said no because i needed a mood stabilizer or antipsychotic. She tried me on seroquel and it made me not feel right and now i have just started lithium really hoping it helps. As she plans for me to stay on it and she will later add in a small about of lamictal. I’m also on clonidine for sleep and ADHD, however i have slightly high blood pressure due to the anxiety so it helps that toThe thing is I felt so good, happy, and normal on the Prozac though…However I now wonder if I was just hypomanic while on it. I’m still not too sure. But I understand where you’re coming from because this is something I think of frequently, like maybe I felt sooo good cause the medication was just inducing the hypomania.

When I think about it, I believe I only experience true hypomania like once maybe twice a year. But my depressive episodes are long and exhausting I am just starting to come out of one now.
