Wildflower,

I'm diagnosed with Bipolar II. I rarely go into manic mode. When I do it doesn't last very long. I was put on trazadone for sleeping and I soon learned that when I got on a regular sleeping schedules I became stable. Of course I'd have my ups and mostly downs every once in a while but this time my downtime has been progressively getting worse. That's where the AD came in. My pdoc warmed me that it could possibly cause me to become manic because it is an SNRI. He said if I felt mania coming on that I should call him right away but instead I've become a different kind of depressed. Not so desperate and teary, more like, I'm just a dull, non caring person who would rather lie in bed 48 hrs straight and I really don't care. Sometimes my brain reminds me of all these things I want to do but my body doesn't respond. My brain goes fast, I'm nervous and anxious but tired and stagnant. It's so confusing. I can't live like this.
