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'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...
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!
