It all started after I took Seroquel 2 nights ago. This has actually happened with Seroquel before too, but I brushed it off as being a coincidence. Now I see that it's not a coincidence at all. It keeps happening.
I guess the "concern" is that I have racing thoughts and impulsivity from the hypomania. ****. I hope my mood is not transitioning into full-blown mania.
Does it normally get that cold in Alberta in the winter? I thought -20F here was cold, but -43C/-43F is pretty bad. (Well, it's not -20F here right now, but sometimes it gets that cold with windchill.)

My nurse (I am currently IP) told me last week that I had a suicidal mania which is exactly as you described; full-blown mania, no depressive symptoms so no mixed, and very suicidal. She said it can be extremely dangerous so please be careful Blue. Call your pdoc if you think you might act. It is a serious emergency as the intensity of the suicidal urges and energy of mania are a deadly combo.
