My first post was a week or so ago but basically I'm kind of on the verge of being officially diagnosed bipolar II. I started Abilify 11/8 and for the second time it has sent me into massive mania. Got me out of major depressive episode, high as a kite, can't sleep, can't eat, life's great, lost weight , total shopping rampage, blah, blah, blah! Nothing hurting me or my family but a huge high from how I'd been.

Well, I may be slowly floating down. Just lack of food and sleep maybe. I'm still pretty high but I see myself getting edgy and short with people again... Short fused! I'm scared I'm coming down and I'm petrified to go back to that depression again.

Is this what's going on and where I'm heading? Am I coming off my manic phase? I see my doc on 12/18 and I am on the lowest dose of Abilify so at one point when I was really high was thinking about asking for lithium again but now I don't know. Maybe it won't be necessary by the time I get to him!

Any thoughts? I don't want to lose this feeling I have. I don't want it to go away and I feel I am making myself depressed knowing it it coming to an end! Thanks in advance!
