This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I recently came to terms that I have a pain pill addiction, my husband threw away all of my pills, no percocet, darvocet, vicodin, nothing.
However, I've been feeling major ups and when I come down, I go into this downward spiral and I feel like I will never feel better, then a week or so later I'm skating on ice, driving like a lunatic, getting irratable easily, no need for sleep, etc.
I guess my question is, who would I see for a proper diagnosis? Should I see a physician or a psychiatrist?
Previous meds like Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac did nothing for me. Then I was put on WellbutrinXL, and that put me into overdrive. I was so driven, my sexual drive was outrageous, then as I started come down, I became angry, irritable easily, then I flew into a rage during an arguement with my husband and broke my hand in 3 places when I punched the fridge.
My marriage is falling apart, my work is suffering, I never have the energy or patience for my children. I need help, I want to be me again!

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...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
I would contact a psychiatrist. Pretty soon!
Wellbutrin is an anti-depressant. It may throw you into a high.
See a pdoc, soon. Lower your wellbutrin and increase your bp meds.
Hang in. You'll get your dosage right!
Try not to go off the "deep end".
Huggers!
