Hello manicmare: Well... I'm no expert when it comes to these sorts of things. But from what you wrote I would say yes Bipolar may be a possibility. But that's really just a guess on my part. The one thing I do know, from personal experience, is that when you start increasing & decreasing med's & changing med's things can get messed up pretty quickly to the point where you have no idea what's causing what. And then throw in the alcohol & the weed & it the whole situation can become a real mess.

I see this is your first post here on PC. So... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
