    To research why I'm currently in a hypomanic episode after quitting Cymbalta. I've never been diagnosed as being bipolar. No matter what i've told various primary care providers and 1 psychiatrist over the past 12 years, they all said I was suffering from depression. However, is it possible that Im actually Bipolar II?

Do you think that 12 continuous years of various antidepressants for anxiety and depression can hide bipolar II. Four months on cymbalta and quit cold turkey. Six weeks in withdrawal now and developed very obvious hypomania. Finally went to an after hours clinic and the doctor was pretty sure I was bipolar II. I made an appointment with a psychiatrist tomorrow. What are your thoughts and experiences?
