Bipolar 2 Disorder (Cyclothymia) Treatment?

Question by Mdll200: Bipolar 2 disorder (cyclothymia) treatment? Okay I was diagnosed with Cyclothymia which is mild form of bipolar about 6 months ago.

Lithium made my TSH levels go up to over 24 and gave me hypothyroidism. Wellbutrin made me so depressed, I tried to kill myself. Geodon gave me restless leg syndrome. You can see where I’m going with this. Read more... ...
