Hello everyone. I'm a 37 year old male and just realized something is very wrong. I''m your average guy, married with kids and a good job. Over the past year, something has been wrong. I was on Percocet for a back Injury and was on for years. I started to notice that I was enjoying them to much and started running out a week ahead of time for a refill. I would get horrible mood swings that we're effecting my marriage. I decided to stop taking them and have not had any in 2 months. While I was on them, I became very depressed as well due to my father passing away with cancer. I took it pretty hard. Now here is where things start. I have always had a hot head about myself, even when I was young. Not violent, just extremely irritable every once on a while. I went to speak to my doctor about being depressed and he put me on wellbutrin 300mg 1x a day. It helped. I felt great after a month. I've been on it for almost 6 months now and felt great. Now here is the problem. A few days ago, I was depressed. Nothing big, just normal life crap. I had to take a week off work to regroup. When I returned, I was brought in to be questioned about why I was off and what meds I was on. My job requires disclose of all meds to them. Anyways, I was in the office and I felt something was wrong inside. It was that old feeling of getting pissed off I used to get except I knew that I could keep it in check but the feeling was there. My employer said I was displaying bipolar symptoms and was everything ok? I never thought of bipolar before. I went home, took every one of those online bipolar screen tests and everyone of them said bipolar 1. I even retried to make sure the answers I said were the. Most honest and accurate. Today, it hit me. A feeling I have never experienced before. I called my employer and asked for a leave so I can get better. My employer denied my request. Then it happened. I started sweating up a storm, roasting hot, felt like my head was going to explode. I didn't feel happy or angry but the best I can explain it was turbo charged to the point of almost passing out. I was thinking irrational thought and my mind was racing a mile a minute. I kept deep breathing thinking it's nothing it it didn't stop. I went home, looked up the laws about my human rights in the work place and before I knew it, my rights were violated when I was denied time off. Next thing I know I'm on the phone with my union stating that I wanted to sue my employer and then my rep stated that I had a case if I really wanted to go through with it. I said yes. Next thing I know, I'm on the phone to my boss telling them I'm during them for discriminatiom. My employer was caught off guard. He tried to explain his side but I wasn't having it. This whole time, my mind is in turbo, acting on instinct alone. I yelled at my boss, and said I'll see them in court and hung up. I spent hours after that researching everything on this matter and then I started feeling sick. I was trembling. I laid down for an hour to some relaxing music and just deep breathe and relax myself. When i got up, I started to cry. I realized what I had done with my job and now I feel horrible. I knew it seemed right at the time bit I know I was way out of control. I was acting on autopilot it seemed. Please...help. I have never experienced a feeling like before it all though it wasn't scary or violent, it was something i did overly enjoy it to say the least. I have never done hard drugs before but of how they show cocaine on tv and movies and now it effects you, I'd say to sum up,how,I felt was that I dunked my head in a pile of coke and took a few shots of speed with that. Can anyone tell me if this would be a manic episode? Please help.
