I would definitely talk with your doctor. I was just diagnosed a year ago w/bp and it turns out I have had it my whole life. I know when I was on less meds or the wrong meds I had hypersexuality and spending issues. I rarely get anything now though but mixed episodes and depression but that is because they are still working with my meds. Make sure also you are able to be stable before you decide on having children involved in the picture. Bipolar is a life long thing you always will need to treat and there is good chance your kids can get it if it is in your genes. I have 2 kids I love with all my heart and it pains me to pieces that they have to live w/a bipolar mom. I am a good mom and a good hearted person and a good wife but I still have extremely bad days and blame myself for not being well for them all the time. I am not trying to discourage you I just care and want to be sure you and your husband and doctors are all on the same page for your familys sake. (((((((hugs 2 you)))))))))
