The flashbacks from the PTSD are really stressful and can provoke symptoms of bipolar disease as can other stressors like physical illness, emotional upset, meds that have CNS activity and shouldn't be given to bipolar patients without a warning....Yes, PTSD is a real issue for me along with hallucinations. I truly hate the hallucinations, but my mood stabilizer, lithium, works and is truly protective. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
What meds are you on, I also have Bipolar 1 with the Cptsd, Are you on any antipsychotics
