OK, so I am officially manic, I just realized yesterday in therapy when my T told me to stop talking for a minute and take a deep breath. Yes, I was talking way too fast for my own good.
I have been speeding when I drive and don't care. I saw someone on the side of the road walking and thought about how easy it would be to clip him. I have NEVER been homicidal. Scared the crap out of me! I am talking fast. I don't require as much sleep. In fact I only slept for 4 hours last weekend. Everything is irritating. I am super sensitive to sounds and touch. Yes, I even have the hyper sexuality. I have SOOOO many ideas that I think are fabulous, but I know that in a few weeks I won't have the energy or care to do anyof them and they will sit unfinished. I am not sure what to do. I know I SHOULD talk to my pdoc, but I think I can wait until my next appt on next friday.

from my own experience of thinking I could wait till next app's , please call your pdoc soon. You do sound very manic. Sometimes waiting can lead to a very hard to treat mania.

Yes, onlymedid you should consider calling pdoc today, before the weekend. Don't know your past experiences with mania but risking making poor decisions isn't worth it.
Pdoc may want to see you earlier or make a med tweak. Only want the best for you!

Just called the PDoc's office and he doesn't have an opening until Monday at 1:30, so at least I'm getting in before next Friday.

I went to the Pdoc today and he took me off the Lexapro and added Klonopin for sleeping. He said I need to get sleep, but I get about 6 hours a night, isn't that enough?
I should have asked him, but I forgot. I go back to him in a week to see how I am doing. Just wanted to update you all.
