You know it's definitely not a good idea to mess with meds.

However, I have done it too. Worse, I was misdiagnosed with major depression for a long time, so I still have bottles of anti-depressants lying around. Also, there have been times my pdoc has put me on ADs short-term when my depression is bad; though she never leaves me on them very long and always made me come in for appointments more frequently when she has me on them.

So I will get it into my mind that I want more energy, more drive or creativity and experiment with my meds too, especially not taking my major meds for BP. And anyway, I always enjoy being hypomanic/manic to depression/numbness on some level, so I don't want to stop it until it is completely out of control and messing up my life and has even my husband (who doesn't like me being on psych meds much) telling me to call my pdoc ASAP (of course, I never tell him I'm experimenting with my medication).

I haven't read all the responses to this post, but my advice is to call your pdoc and let him/her know what is going on and get an appointment ASAP. Trazodone never made me manic either, just gave me a hungover feeling the next day, lasting longer the larger the dose.
