This is the very first to happen. I am OK, now being on lithium but of course the symptoms are still there. I still cycle, I sleep less then I sleep more. This evening I was trying to fall asleep without my ambien and I had a flashback of faces, moving quickly - I was in a limbo (between sleep and wake state) - I could only think that the faces were me in my past lives. After a few seconds - it stopped.
What bothers me now is I do not know if this is genuine or my illness! Of course I will never know for sure. One thing is certain being manic, can make people more in tune and insightful,at least this is my experience. I am afraid to tell my pdoc (he might up my lithium). What should I do?
