I've been taking my meds regularly. The short version is that I was prescribed two meds which I thought messed with my bipolar meds. They were phentermine and tramadol. That's when this whole thing started. I'm not taking those drugs anymore and haven't in a while. Anyway I'm very hyper and listening to punk rock and alternative rock which makes me even more hyper. I'm so hyper I want have been tempted )to self medicate to calm down. I've gotten some black fingernail polish and want to wear black (SO NOT ME). I don't feel like jumping out of my sking just feel very VERY HYPER. I have never felt quite this way. It can't be the meds I was prescribed yet this is when all this hyperness started. Some days I feel as stable as a three legged stool. My hubby says my moods are ok though I'm just way hyper. Anyone ever been like this? I can't concentrate worth crap either. I feel like my middle name should be go because go is all I want to do. Listen to punk rock and be on the go. I so need to be calmer. It seems to only be getting worse though. Any advice? I see my pdoc in November and my therapist in early November. Therapist knows about this but not that it seems to be getting worse. Sorry for the length feel like I've typed a book here.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Call a 24 hr one if you have to.
But both my Pdoc and Pharmacist said...take 1 Benydrill and MAYBE 1 Xanax..it helps calm the nind as well as the nuscles in your body,getting rid of that hyper feeling.
But please,always check,because Benydrill can have harmful effects with some BP meds.
Benydrill is what they use in a lot of phyiatric hosp. to calm patients.
I'm trying to listen to calming music now but so far it's not doing much. Still hyper.
I am leary of anything addictive although I do take ambien and have heard that can be addictive. I don't take it every night though just on nights like tonight when I am wide awake.
I took a hot bath and listened to come calming music but I am still bouncing off the walls albeit less than I was. I took an ambien and hope that makes me sleep tonight.
I've done all I can dh is at work ds is soon going to bed thank goodness. He has been driving me bonkers.
