Hey all,

I've been going through some things lately and trying to figure out if it's normal or not. I am currently on 800mg Seroquel XR, 20mg prozac daily. Worked my way up to that dosage over the last couple months. So the dosage is still new to me.

Basically I go through phases where I overly research something, and I want it badly. And I find out every little thing about it, and how to get it for a great deal. However I have a hard time ever making a decision or actually acting on it. Eventually I will succeed but it takes many of these phases before the right situation or events happen so I do it.

For example: I have been wanting to buy a rolex. So I overly research everything and try to find some good deals. But I have a nice watch now, and don't really need it. So eventually I decide I should stop researching. Then I move onto something else, like a new car. And the cycle rotates through things I am interested in at the time constantly. My mind seems to be overly thinking and a bit busy during these times. I also used to get really irritable and angry during these times, but that appears to be better on the meds? But all this other stuff feels like it did before meds?

Then one day it just stops, and I'm satisfied with the things I have for the most part for a little while. Or I buy something which then takes my mind off it for a bit. Since I don't always act on these urges and I overly research and think about things, I'm not sure if it's really bipolar and it's just part of my normal life?

Thanks for listening.
