Your doctor would be able to tell you if your medications can cause withdrawals. Also, talk to your family and friends as they can tell if you are your natural self. Sometimes we aren't aware when we've crossed the line.
Thank you.

It was just an urge, but it happened very randomly. I'm not actually feeling that way.

I don't think I've crossed a line. I think I'm okay...today I almost overslept, which is strange since before I went off the medication I was waking up super early (3-4-5 a.m.) and not getting as much sleep. Hypersomnia is an old symptom that the ap had actually gotten rid of, more or less (except weekends when I wind up sleeping 12-14 hours).

I'm now wondering if my meds make me hypomanic or manic. But I went on my ap for terrible paranoia, so I don't know.

It's so confusing.

Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.
Latuda, 40mg -- for the paranoia (delusional type).
Adderall, 40mg XR & 5 mg reg -- for the ADD.
Xanax, .5 mg as needed -- for the anxiety.
Topamax, 50mg -- still figuring this one out.

MDD, but possibly have some form of Bipolar Disorder. Then again, I could be paranoid . . .

Well, at least I still have my sense of humor.
