Okay, so I've been jumping between here and borderline because I'm not sure at all which I am, but right now, I'm wondering if I have something that would point to bipolar? For the past month or two, I've felt revved up, like I could do anything. I would have these really nice bursts of energy, and I'd manage to do something productive with them. But since yesterday, I've been tired constantly and all I want to do is sleep. Everything feels like such a chore. Even getting up took me a good hour. I really hate feeling like this, because I know that I'm not gonna get anything done, and I have a ton to do. I guess you could consider the last month or two to be hypomanic, because I honestly felt better than I had in years, and all I wanted to do was work and talk to everybody and my self-esteem was actually seeming on the up. But in the five years before I was hospitalized, I was 100% depressed. I had no motivation and I cried all the time and I just couldn't deal. So they put me on an antidepressant that made me violent, and then experimented with Neurontin & Trileptal, which seemed to calm me, but not enough to where I wasn't constantly changing moods. I know that bipolar usually involves a fairly consistent pattern in an individual, but would it be normal to have a period of totally down, then a period of moods that swung at least 5x a day, and then go totally up, and then totally down again? If this really is bipolar, I know I'm gonna need something to balance me out. At the moment, I'm wondering if I should up my Wellbutrin. I don't really wanna ask my doctor, because I know his response will be "No, you don't need it." But if I up it myself, he'll pretty much have to fill out a new prescription or let me go into withdrawal. He mentioned increasing it last time as a way to possibly control my impulses (like why patients with ADD are on it), but then decided against it. I really want to get better :/ I hate feeling depressed. Sorry.. I got a little off-course. My main two questions are 1) Do you guys think that this points to a dx of bipolar or cyclothymia and 2) Do you think increasing my Wellbutrin XL to 300 mg/day sounds like a good idea? Thank you.
