Well, let me give you a really strange personal experience from yesterday!

I thought I was experiencing mixed episodes. During the day I started to feel myself lose touch with everything, anxiety build up and finally smack me solidly from behind. I was suddenly nearly in tears.

That night we were supposed to my parents and some friends at a live music show - I had a beer, a quick shower and off we went. When I got to the show, I had about 3 sips of my red wine and suddenly got VERY nauseous. I ran to the bathroom, but was fine. I then waited a few minutes before throwing myself head over heels into my glass of wine. After that first one, another one followed. Then a beer, then 2 Mojito's. Next thing it was 1AM, and I was having a blast. Not sure how I fell asleep, but I finally did at 1:30; unfortunately my alarm went off 5 hours later! This is Jackie- the same person that usually requires 10hrs of sleep! And I'm doing ok today. Not sure if that alchohol triggered a bit of a hypomania in me.

I usually cannot drink too much - I am VERY quick to throw up, even before I was oin meds.
I think with me being on the meds, I tend to feel bloated a lot quicker and then just have enough of drinking very quickly
