I am coming down after a week on a manic episode and very very little sleep. I am miserable, I am really getting depressed now as I come back down to earth. I really was way up there manic wise. Went crazy cleaning the house put my back out in the mean time NOw reality is setting in again and getting depressed and really down. Don't want to do anything go anywhere or anything. I have things upcoming I have to do to. Well wish me luck and wish me I get some sleep. I have got some sleep but still have not caught up yet for the week I missed..

Using a stabilizer like lithium or depakote will prevent going into mania. Take care of yourself!

I am on lithium 900mg and yes I take kolonopin for anxiety. I saw my doc about 2 weeks ago she took me off of latuda because it was causing my blood sugar to spike really high and I am a diabetic so she took me off of it. As soon as I went off of it is when I went into a tailspin and went manic for about a week now I am crashing down hard with lack of sleep it is hard to deal with. thanks for your replies.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
