I think I've been very manic lately.

I'm being very irrational and having high anxiety and I don't think my medication is working. I don't know what to do.

Ask to see your psych/doc as soon as possible. Your meds may need to be raised, switched, or have something added.

I finally went to see my doctor and we are going to taper off my latuda and carbamazepine and switch to a new one.

I'm really scared about this but I hope it works. I don't like going crazy.

I dont take meds but i feel like i've been experiencing frequent bouts of mania throughout my time working at my place of work, unusually high ones at that. Upon research on the subject of mania, bipolar disorder and psychosis, I find myself relating to the fact that at the start of every working day i was excited and optimistic for my future, happy on my way to work every morning for the past 4 weeks, then suddenly this cloud of depression descended over my head that all but killed my mood for the rest of the day and days thereafter.

I found that it was some form of psychotic break that built up over time because i was subjecting my mind to so many negative stimuli in the environment whilst thinking I was mentally stable. Will go to the doctors asap to confirm this - in fact might have to write this down to give to the doctor given my short term memory issues.

I'm terrified about what I might do if I start to have these crazy thoughts again that cause me to snap.

And if my mom gets back with her evil crackhead ex husband again I'm terrified that I'm really going to loose it. I might actually end up killing him because I just don't think I can take it anymore and then I will be f****d for life.

Yep... I can already feel myself feeling weird now that I've tapered off those those other two meds.

I'm starting to feel better now. Maybe my new medicine is working?

My test results show that my amonia levels very high so now they are going to have take me off the depakote too.

I mean f*****g really!?

I think lowering my medication is effecting me badly. I feel fine now but I didn't feel fine earlier.

I hope u feel better and get the right medication and treatment if needed

They put me on abilify and put me back on my normal dosage of depakote so hopefully I'll start feeling better soon.
