Hey and Welcome, med resistant is just shrink for your too complicated. I'm haven't had an anti-depressant in 5+ years because according to the 3 or 4 shrinks I've seen(I belong to State Mental Health Non-care
an anti-depressant would make me Manic irregardless of how Depressed or that word we're not allowed to say on here, I am. Enough about
me, from what you've said you haven't been through even 25% of the BP meds out there and some people need combos of meds, but in my opinion, until you've tried Every BP med and they haven't worked you are Not med resistant. Don't give up, do get another shrink if you feel you need to and don't blame Everything on your illness, you are still an intelligent, thinking, feeling human being. Keep us in the Loop
