Hi. New here and super scared about posting my symptoms out in the open. But here is the deal:
1. Been feeling very stable for months now-almost a year
2. Been having problems when I have my period, hormonal (very bad) that get me into a depressive state for a few days and bounce back to normal and stable. Under hormonal treatment and seeing an improvement.
3. This month went into a black hole of icky, sticky-ness while I had my period and took my month's perscription for sleeping pills in 4 days.
4. First day back from period and feeling manickish. Like I seriously haven't breathed the whole time I typed this email.
Question:
Am I cycling?
I only have had one manic episode since I got diagnosed as bi polar. And I had a mega manic episode. NEVER want it to happen again.
So I am a little worried that I feel like I do right now. I feel like I did an 8 ball of cocaine or drank tea non stop all day. I feel like I could go outside and run a marathon.
THIS IS NOT HOW I NORMALLY FEEL.
At what point do I call my doctor?
Meds:
Currently on 100 mg of seroquel, 10 mgs of Abilify, 6 mgs of ativan and 10 mgs of ambien (but I am out of ambien right now)
Current status: Took 2 mgs of ativan, an extra seroquel, so 200 mgs of seroquel and my standard 10 mgs of abilify. Last night did same meds and finally got some sleep around 1:30 pm. I normally go to sleep around 8:30pm.
Your advice is welcome.
