What is this? I truly hope not some sign of brain damage. Lately, I have had problems with typing, and it's the most bizarre thing. There are times when I will spell 5 or 6 letter words completely in reverse. Is this a side effect of meds? Is it bipolar getting worse? I have never had this happen to me before. I am not dyslexic. It doesn't happen when I write things out by hand, I read books just fine. So why am I suddenly reversing the spelling (the order it correct, just backwards) of words from time to time when I type? I did one time get hypergraphia in a manic episode and absolutely could not stop writing, but this is different from that occasion.

I will bring this up to the pdoc the next time I see him. Actually, I think I see him tomorrow morning again. I don't know why, but last time, he only gave me a week between appointments. He didn't really mess with my meds except to give me low dose Seroquel to use as needed for long-lasting panic attacks. Maybe my weight issues, IDK. He doesn't put a lot out there unless you ask directly about it.

Has anyone else had this happen?
