Sorry to hear how weird things are for you...it's the worst!

My ex is bipolar, and she got manic episodes at PMS time...in fact, that what we thought it was. It wasn't until she was diagnosed that we realized what was going on. Just like steroids can kick off an episode, apparently the fluctuating hormone level can do the same thing. That sucks.

Have you tried Seroquel yet? It is now approved for mania as well as bipolar depression. It's worked wonders for me.

Hope you feel better soon!
