There are multiple reasons why this could happen, and I need to know if this is something I should tell the doctor.
1. I've heard things on lithium and zyprexa before, but not for months.
2. I've started wellbutrin a month ago, and anti-depressants caused my manic episode, but so far I have not experienced any negative side effects.
3. I've smoked weed within a day or two of hearing things.
4. I've drunk 2-4 glasses of wine a few times the past week and a half.
5. I just started my second week of college and have been very stressed out.
I guess what I'm really wondering is, is this bipolar-related, stress-related, or substance-related, or a combination of things, and should I tell the doctor?

Are the wine and pot in the last two weeks a new habit? I am not sure if either or both interact with the meds you are taking. Perhaps others on the forum know, but I would definitely talk to your pdoc. Mine told me to not drink at all ideally or drink moderately at most. I have found that I don't want much alcohol and I suspect that I used it in the past to self-medicate anxiety. I feel very fortunate that it didn't develop into another issue to deal with.
