Hello everyone, I have been diagnosed with bipolar, about 6 years ago, I'm 22 now.Couldn't sleep, but never felt energetic about it, regardless my pdoc at the tyme put me on Risperdal, and Depakote.Switched to Zyprexa 4 years ago 10 mg, and because of the weight gain, cut back to 2.5 and got on Trazodone 100 mg, planning on quiting zyprexa.I get decent sleep, and feel great, no more mental fog, I feel emotions like I should, BUT I am manic or euphoric, I feel no shame, I feel I could talk to anyone, every time I meet my friends, it lasts for 30 minutes after I leave them, and then I'm normal again.If I don't see them for about 1 week for variuous reasons, like college papers etc, I feel very very depresed, I see them and I'm high again.For the record, I never ever felt mania or hypomania for longer than I'm with people, and thus I never really considered myself bipolar.I mean, I never felt alive after a night of not sleeping, I just felt really tired, but unable to sleep, but the doctors told me it was bipolar.So what is your opinion?It's really odd, because I heard tales of bipolar episodes and never really clicked with what I felt.Sorry for ranting, but do you think this could be a bipolar symptom, or is just maybe normal??
