I thought I'd post this here, as I am dx'd BP II and I'm sure there are people on a similar med combo to me.

I have been on Lamictin and Wellbutrin for close to 2 years now. I haven't gotten very stable, but ok. When I saw my pdoc on Thurs and told him I'm still battling with episodes, he started me on lithium:
200mg in AM and 200mg in PM.

I have become very thirsty (Which I knew to expect), and am also feeling nauseous from time to time (Again, something I knew I could expect)

But last night was VERY strange. I think I'm fairly "normal" at the moment; not in a depressive, mixed or hypomanic episode.

I battled to sleep, when I sleep like a log normally. I felt very hot and sweated a lot. In the middle of the night, I woke up to hear to TV in the lounge. My bf hadn't put it on. We are not quite sure how it could have gone on, as we are both sure it was properly off before we went to bed (The TV screen was off, but I think the amp could have been on, which feeds the sound part) But Why did it not make a noise when we went to bed? I got out of bed and put the TV off. When I told my bf this morning, he must have thought I was totally cooked... But I can categorically say I heard the TV and went to turn it off.
After I put the TV off and climbed back into bed, I woke up, thinking I'd heard the TV again. I listened, and within 4 secs, I realised it was quiet. And I KNEW I had turned the TV off!
I battled to fall asleep after that; my anxiety was sky high.
I don't know; this is strange. I have only ever had "psychosis" when in a depressed episode.
