I have been on lithium for over a year it helped almost 100% during the first month. During a month or two in id be singing at work and have hypomania all day with little sleep. My Pdoc then upped the lithium to 1200 and then it made me feel utterly sick in the mornings so I went back to 900. Then I got depressed. My pdoc gave me lactimal, worked great in the first week but then I got a rash.

I went on an anti depressant and got very anxious and irritable. He told me to take seroquel for depression but all it did was make it worse cause it would make me more tired. I saw him a week later and I felt good so he scedualed my next appointment three months ahead of time and within a week I felt crazy again. sometimes I felt like assaulting people who looked at me while shopping, because i felt they were looking down on me and I felt like attacking them by bashing their face in with a can of soup. I even told him that. He didnt have a solution besides to take the mid fogging anti psychotics

I no longer see that Pdoc and ran out of lithium I went to a walk in last week and instaid of lithium he gave me trazodone and another anti depressant that I stopped because side effects were intolerable

Just yesterday when I wrote this thred and thought I was going into a consistent depression. No, I spiked my hair and just felt awesome, worked out so much my arms hurt like never before. I was doing task to task. layd in bed all night and got mad at my GF when she asked where I was going because I couldnt stop thinking about how she ruined my life by moving in. I was so angry. But didnt say why because I didnt want to say anything id regret.

Now today I feel energetic. woke up at 6 am. I dont know if 100 mg of trazodone could swing my mood in a few hours. but it seems to be what happened.

I have no explanation. Obviously I will talk to the doc about it this week. I just dont know where to start, what to say. I will start keeping track of my moods starting today. But I just dont see the point if im on medication because maybe its triggering or causing my moods. I dont know.
