Never been inpatient for the mania though. Docs are considering it now. This round of mania started about 6 months ago & has gotten WAY worse in the last month or so. I am also disabled with a very painful neurological disease called RSD/CRPS. Have gastroparesis (throw up several times a day for last year or so.....docs wanna put in a feeding tube soon). Many other medical problems, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind. Have been on very strong opiate narcotic pain relievers for several years. Anyways.....back to the manic thing. Nobody wants to be around or even talk to me right now. I just have too much energy. My psych doc tested me for OCD last week bc of how much OBSESSIVE organizing I am doing. I dont sleep anymore, so I just organize. If anyone moves anything slightly, I uncontrollably scream & curse at them. That is VERY out of character for me. I have always been a very sweet, quiet, go with the flow kind of person. Not right now I'm not!!! My mind is racing too much to even think what to right. I need to go pace in a second anyways. So, I will end this post. Please feel free to ask me anything. I would love the input. My current psych meds are Lithium, Lamictal, Xanax. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot believe I found someone on here who has RSD/CRPS. It has got to be the most painful thing to have. It feels like whatever part of your body you have it in has been put through acid or a fire. Mine has gotten better with time, however. The burning is one, but my foot is still messed up.

It is most definitely difficult to deal with when you are manic and cannot sit still. The pain becomes excrutional (sp). I was on narcotics for a very long time and developed a dependency on them. It took a very long time to get over my addictions to all them all. I did it one at a time and it was very difficult.

Since you are screaming and yelling at everyone, you may be experiencing dysphoric mania where you become very agitated and irritable.

On your next pdoc appt, please let them know you are going through this.

((((hugs))))
