This is going on 32 days, and I am still trying to get stabilized. I felt like there was nothing I could do, there were no triggers or stresses to take away or deal with. I was a mess. I'm still a mess. Thank God for my parents. Has anyone else had any other medication set them off like this?
i'm bp2 with no depression. i had to be hospitalized for a week w/crohn's/colitis issues and i was given pred. i.v. and on pred. pills for 3 mo. thereafter...most horrid mania/ocd/insomnia ever. also tried some antidepressants and they flipped me into mania...and lastly, over-the counter allergy meds or anything which says `non drowsy' set me off. i always ask a pharmacist which over-the-counter works for someone w/mania.
