So, my daughter woke me up at 6 this morning (she goes to school earlier than her siblings and my husband takes her) asking if she could borrow a purse as she had left hers at my sister’s yesterday (oh joy) and I didn’t go to sleep until after 12 yesterday. My sleep, as I’ve mentioned, has been out of sorts anyway. Once I woke up, I just stayed awake and got the other kids on the bus and then went to breakfast with my husband as we planned. Well, while we were out, he said, “you’re manic”. I know I’ve mentioned, even very recently, that he always can tell by my eyes that I’m manic. Well, I ate carbs at breakfast and he said “you’re eating carbs.” I told him I was eating some carbs because I wanted them but he told me that normal Sarah doesn’t do that. He said he could see it in my eyes. He also said that’s why I didn’t go back to sleep after my daughter woke me up. I asked him who goes from depressed to manic over night. And his response was “you do!!! You have bipolar.” So anyway, I told him I don’t feel manic (but I don’t really feel depressed today either) and he said it didn’t matter and he would be watching me closely and he is nervous now about me taking this new antidepressant. So now I’m nervous too. When we started Welbutrin, it worked fine. But, a couple years ago we started an anti depressant (I cant remember which one although it may have been an ssri) and I completely lost my mind in a very short time. Do I call my pdoc just based on such a simple observation and suggest halting the trintellex? Or do I just hang steady and keep taking it? Since breakfast I don’t think I’ve done anything out of the ordinary. I took a walk with my aunt, straightened the house, and picked up my daughter and that’s pretty much all. My husband has been sleeping since right after we went to breakfast as he has to work tonight. I’m not sure what to do. Maybe I’m just being silly? Thoughts?
