The abilify and lithium helped because I was sooooo far out there that I thought I was a god, and when I went to pick up my abilify for the first time, I told the pharmacist I knew everything about him and I could help him with any issue he had. It's been 3 weeks since then, and the mania hasn't gone away. To make things worse my pdoc dropped me as a patient due to a missed apt. He had tapered me from 200mg Zoloft down to 150mg. And I feel like a lot of this is from the Zoloft. At first I was so euphoric and now all I want to do is smash things. The only thing that keeps me sane is my umbrella cockatoo, Dolly and God. I was diagnosed bipolar 2, but now they changed it to bipolar 1. I have never had a manic episode to this degree, just hypomania. And I've had bipolar since 17. I am now 22. Does anyone, please, have any coping strategies when I am like this? I've just been taking Benadryl and trying to sleep all day. Is there anything that's helped you if you've ever been in a state like I am? Thank you.
I missed when I was able to sleep all day, being depressed so much easier than hypromanic imo... Treasure those days where I am neither...
