November 2015, my Pdoc put me on new meds, because the old ones didn’t work anymore. I was badly depressed and was put on 200 mg seroquel and 1000 mg depakote. They helped me to some level but didn’t help me with my suicidal thoughts so my Pdoc added 400 mg lithium. I went to a rapid cycle after that. After 8 months of that new meds combination there were no more depression, no more suicidal thoughts, no more rapid cycle and I went into manic episode so I stopped taking lithium since the beginning of July. At first everything seemed fine and I was okay with this manic feeling, but now I realized that I am on the way into a full-blown mania. I can’t handle my manic thoughts anymore and I started doing dangerous things. Is this just a normal cycle of having bipolar (I still need to do more research about bipolar since I was misdiagnosed before) or is this because lithium withdrawal? Did anyone else have experience with lithium withdrawal or at least know about it? I will meet my Pdoc next week and will absolutely tell him about this but any insight would be much appreciated.
