docs can help you, we can only speculate, it sounds like bipolar, but go see a doc!

You should make an appt with a psychiatrist.They can DX you and set you up with meds.Good Luck.:)

Do anti depressants work or do they make you really high.

Do you stay awake for days on end or just have more then usual energy?

Are your highs only while on meds or have you had them with out

There is something called Med induced BiPolar

Type 1 Type 2 Rapid and NOS

Basically you could be just depressed with your normal being slightly hypomanic or it could be your meds that bring you up.

talk to the dr is all I can say!!!

Search PubMed (on WebMD or just Google PubMed) for bipolar. Look at the articles that come up most recently.

Find pdocs at teaching institutions near you that are publishing and get an appointment with one of them.

Chart your energy level, productivity, moods for a couple months before you see the pdoc.

They should be able to tell you with that info.

well i have been on many diff meds over the last 14 yrs and they never seem to last for very long. i am down more than i am up. but wen im up i feel like i have taken speed and cant slow down.x

Sure sounds bipolar to me. I was diagnosed with depression only for more years than I care to say. Now that I have mood stabilizer added, things are better.

I don't know but they found out I was bipolar because I attempted suicide while on anti-depressants.

OH GEESH SHIT....I'M GOING to try and be nice about this...but get yourself to a qualified PHYCIAtrist..get a real.DX....not a "I READ ABOUT BIPOLAR...OR OPARAH."..SELF DX is NOT helping you or anyone around you.

These......" I THINK I MIGHT BE BIPOLAR" posts are getting ridiculous...GO GET A REFERENCe...GET SOME EDUCATION ON BP,IF YOU ARE DX.as BP..THEN COME BACK AND MAYBE WE CAN HAVE AN INTELLEGENT QUESTIAN AND ANSWER SESSION,other wise ,go look up boarderline personality disorder,that fits symtoms too,...so does untreated diabetis...so does brain cancer...it could be anything...menopause,extreme PMS....being bipolar is more than mood swings....Crap..I just totally went off on this poor woman...but it was one too many recent posts ..."I THINK I MIGHT BE BIPOLAR" ...it's really getting to me,and the board seems to be filled with whineing childish people,not willing to do their work or research, work ,on what it means to be bipolar...they want us to hand them little sweets on a platter ,and tell them...all will be fine.
BP is hard work,and if someone dosn't want to do the work..let them figure it out...........now I suppose I'll get another meds increase!

sounds bp to me. see a doc

Sorry,I should have read your profile first...but in a softer tone...I still stand by my recommendation to see a PHyciatrist.

I would see a specialist if I were you. I spent over 10yrs being treated for depression with all kinds of anti-depresents that made me CRAZY! 3 yrs ago I went to a bdoc to get properly diagnosed. It took 2yrs but I am now the proud owner of a very Bipolar brain....but I am so thankful I know what's going on. I still see my bdoc, probably always will, and still working on a med that will work for me but doing much better than a year ago! I agree with "dancingd", he is so right, get properly diagnosed because it could be many things, maybe not even related to any type of depression, could be something life threatning? Could just be a chemical imbalance? Just don't stop here ok, my problem yrs ago was I didn't look into the word Bipolar when I was told I had it and I saw it on my medical report, I didn't ask any questions when my GP put me on meds. Bad mistake! 10yrs being treated with the wrong meds and being treated for the wrong type of depression took a HUGE toll on me. That's why I decided 3yrs ago to insist on seeing a bdoc, it is the best thing you can do for your self and your family. Hope everything works out for you and you find the answers your looking for. We here on DS can support you but please call your GP and get into see a speacilist. Take care of yourself. Love and Prayers Ramona oxxoxooxoxoxox

I would get to a psychiatrist and get some professional help,it sure sounds like the classic symptoms of bipolar.

it SOUNDS like Bp but i would go to a Pdoc and have them test you for it and get you on a meds schedule
