Yup, I am on an antidepressant, have been for years, as that was my original problem -- the manic stuff only appeared recently (as in, the last 6 months or less!).

My thyroid turned out to be fine, so that's not the culprit.

Pdoc upped both lithium and Effexor and I go back in two weeks, again -- I'm getting way too used to the two-week plan!

In the meantime, I'm physically sick as a dog, so at least that's taking my mind off my mental health...
