Hypersexual caused by Manic Depression

Ever since I started going through this, my sex drive has been Topsy turvy. From not caring to just wanting everything. Has anyone else gone through this? I didn't bring it up with the doc yet. I've seen a few other posts, but is it common?

A lot of people get hypersexual when hypo or manic... You are best to post under the 'general bipolar' category Gideon... Not too many come up to the off topic posts...x

I get hyper sexual when i am manic also. Before I was diagnosed and properly medicated (and even after) it caused bouts of promiscuity. This is normal for a bipolar person and isn't your fault.

It's very common. When I get in a depressed episode I don't want anyone to touch me at all and then in my manic state I get hyper sexual.

yea, it's common
i hate when people tell me i should be strong, to not think of it in hope it'll go away.

when i am manic, my mind and emotions are split in half.

should i do this? or "Why not? It's my life"

    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.
