I was diagnosed with clinical depression years ago. I go into depression...deep depressions. Thinking I finally found the "miracle" med...Limictal...I'm ecstatic! Howver, I've started noticing (over a year) manic episodes. I was getting less and less sleep. Felt great during the day...didn't feel tired. Switched the time of day I take lamictal...no longer at night...sleeping better. CRAZY...manic and crashing...hard. I just started a new job and will be starting school in January. I can't function like this. I lost two jobs a year ago because of my "confusion". I'm aware of my mood swings and now do not respond to my crazy perseptions of what people say to me. In my depressive time my voice of reason gets quieter and quieter and the crazy voice takes over and I go to dark places and suicide. Right now I still have the voice of reason. Any suggestions? Meds? Practice at not "reacting"? (I find this very exhausting) I'm desperate. Buster
