My 20 y.o. daughter has BP. She has been dx since 15. It used to be that Autumn, less daylight, etc. would bring on some negative issues for her, but she has had a recent relapse/crisis episode, and has found that as the sun comes up and during daylight, she is feeling physically ill: nausea, head aches, body aches, pain. Then, as evening approaches and it gets dark, the pain symptoms subside. She has also been primarily manic during this time period, but depressed/sick agitated during the day.

Has anyone else experienced this physical pain during daylight that subsides at night?

(5 weeks ago she started Seroquel, but has had problems from it oversedating her to then upped dosage not bringing down the mania at all. Now on 300mg of Lithium, which seems to be less sedating and less destroying of her personality.)

Note: I also posted this on the Bipolar board.
