Over year I have been struggling with highs lows and in betweens. I've been reluctant to seek mental help. I broke down to someone and they pushed me to seek help.

I had taken multiple online test and I scored pretty high on: bipolar, adhd, depression, anxiety disorders.

I told the doc about everything, and she concluded that she thinks I may be bipolar, she said she wants to meet with me a few more times before giving me an actual diagnosis.

I just have one question, Does anyone have periods where they are manic and it feels good? Like a constant euphoria? Like you've had an orgasm and it lasted days? I have other symptoms but I just want to know if other people have had this also?

Right now I'm very depressed. I have more depressed days than normal days, irritated days,manic/hypomanic days.

The Doctor put me on wellbutrin and I meet again thursday for an up dose, further action.

I meet with my primary care doctor last year in november and told her only about the anxiety and depression, he put me on paxil. I was stuck in depression for 8 weeks of wanting to kill myself, then 1 whole month of pure mania.

I broke down to someone and they pushed me to seek help.

familiar story and dont worry about scoring high on bipolar, adhd, depression, anxiety disorders. the last three will be managed once you get out of this depression but i am afraid bipolar is here to stay. anyway welcome to psychcentral !!!!!

It is strange that your psychiatrist placed you on an antidepressant with the high possibility of you being bipolar.

my primary care put me on paxil, the psychiatrist put me on wellbutrin.

She's been practicing for 32 years so I'm putting a little faith in her. She told me that SSRI's are bad for bipolar and wellbutrin works differently than an SSRI.

My psychiatrist had a strange way of making sure about my diagnosis. He put me on a SNRI to check if it makes me manic lol. Anyway, welcome to PC jesusplay. And yes, milder forms of mania can be a very pleasant experience.

I've been on wellburtin since the 28th, I've just been depressed constanly(no suicidal thoughts). Last night I went to sleep at 3am, woke up at 6am without my alarm going off. I was excited? I couldn't for the life of my figure out why I was so excited to go to work today? I got to work for 0730, I was feeling pretty normal, then about at 9 am I had this feeling...it was like the feeling you got as a child the day before christmas, I felt like I was about to get something amazing! then around 1pm, I'm mr. chatter box, saying things, I sent an email to my all the admin users on my base(I'm not suppose to do this) with a joke, then I sent out another message after my supervisor chewed me out. I didn't care laughed in his face.this email said "error"(I was not suppose to do this either!). I didn't care, I felt ****ing amazing, I was just laughing constantly, talking aloud to myself when people got annoyed with me. Laughing while driving home, singing my music and swaying! ****ING AWESOME!!!! Then bam! around 5pm out of no where I get super depressed, I realize what I just did at work, I care, i feel stupid, headache, my head hurts now...I'm mad, sad, depressed, and have a headache.

I was not myself, I'm very quite and I keep to myself normally.

You need to call your Pdoc asap and let her know. Obviously the medication isn't going to work for you.

Hi,

I can totally relate to all 4 of the conditions you mentioned: Bipolar, ADHD, anxiety, Depression.

I;d like to stay in touch with you, feel free to add me. I feel like no one ever has those 4 in common.

I would precaution you NOT to take more than one antidepressant at a time. Do everything slowly and watch your thought patterns and behavior. Antidepressants aren't always the answer. Have you discussed a mood stabilizer yet? Sometimes that is enough and you don't even need an antidepressant.

Anywho, I'm not a shrink, but I do have some experience with taking meds and having the highs and lows, seeing what works/doesnt work, etc.

Good luck, and hit me up!

Today was great, I felt balanced for the first time in weeks. I see my therapist tomorrow, I'll bring this up with her and see if I can get face time with the psychiatrist. Today I feel normal though, I only got 3 hours of sleep last night, woke up and was ready to go.

Hi there, welcome to pc
I think the Wellbutrin test shows its thrown you into hypo/mania. She prob will add a mood stabilizer like lamictal. I liked Wellbutrin maybe too much so she said shed only let me have it with a mood stabilizer. The stuff at work may be fun at the time and I like to break rules but... Getting in trouble with work would be trouble right? I think you should let the doc know right away before you get in any trouble with the Wellbutrin induced high - dang I can't even remember all the things I did while on that stuff that seemed like a good idea at the time, then come back to earth like oh **** what I've done.

This happens to me when I go on an anti depressant without a mood stabilizer - I rapid cycle like crazy. Call your doc ASAP coz it only gets worse!
