    But I don’t come anywhere close to bipolar symptoms.

    I was told that for, I cannot stress this enough, years. And that statement seems to be directly contradicted by the previous sentence, “My ups can be super high and fun but my lows are incredibly extreme…more extreme than others seem to have.” Now, I can’t diagnose you (especially by text over the internet), but I can say if your meds don’t seem to be working and none of them seem to have worked in the past, it’s time for a second opinion on the diagnosis. Ideally by a specialist with plenty of experience, who is not biased by previous specialists’ impressions.

    Also it’s not strictly “over the counter,” that was incorrect on my part. It’s the exact same stuff as what is in my capsules, it’s just 99.9% lab-grade purity, instead of 99.999% medicinal-grade purity. The link was to a science/chemical supply, not a pharmacy.
