Here in the last week or so I am manic during the first par of the morning. THen around 12-1 I have my lows, where I really don't want to be bothered, I want to just hide in my office.
And it is happening litteraly everyday?
What causes this? Could it be the meds maybe need to badjusted?
100mg Lamictal (stability)
1 mg Clonazepam (at night for anxiety?)
25mg seoquel (sp) to help sleep and stay asleep (Not really working well)
and 150mg Wellbutrin (Depression)

Sounds like my borderline personality disorder.

Could just be a mixed state.

I could also be talking out my butt.

As far as sleeping you may need to increase the seroquel. I take 100mg at night.

Just from my experience you are on low doses of all of the medication. Welbutrin from my understanding causes one to be energized a bit. Are you getting med adjustments from your regular doctor or a psychiatrist? I would definitly track your symptoms and bring it to your doctor's attention.

Sometimes we just get in a routine and find a sick comfort in doing the same thing. I know I have done that. Try changing one small thing to break it then another and before you know it you break the mold. It has worked for me and when i say a small thing I mean a small thing. You'll be just fine it reminds me of when i'm paralized. I know and also want to change and yet i can't. hence the word one small thing at a time.

My lows tend to com ein the evening as I work at night and the "workday" winds down. I rack it up as just being tired and don't think much of it.

Sounds like rapid cycling. Could be you or meds. Hate to sounds like a broken record, but talk to pdoc.

That sounds just like me. No matter how bad the night was before, if I sleep which is usually yes, my morning is great. I always figured it was just me and good mornings.

I never once thought of it as being hypomanic or manic at all? This is something I am going to have to journal about.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
