Why is this happening and what is wrong with me? I am going from really hyper to depressed and I keep cycling between them within minutes of one another. Gaaah. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm due to see a new pdoc hopefully this month, but I'm hoping to see my case worker next week so I'll tell her.
I've not been diagnosed with anything but I've got some psychotic symptoms and my old pdoc prescribed me Diazepam (valium), Olanzapine (Zyprexa) and Sertraline (Zoloft), and I've taken 6mg Valium and my antipsychotic to see if that helps). Anyone ever experienced this? Literally within minutes my mood just switches back and forth. |

The thought I would have would be perhaps bipolar (not a dr, that is my disclaimer) unless this is a side effect of one of your meds. I would see your dr. sooner rather than later...this is no state to be in! Safe hugs to you and I hope you feel better soon!

Bipolar mood swings last much longer than minutes. Rapid mood swings like that are more common in some personality disorders. But be aware it could well be your meds. Meds can be worse than the original issue sometimes.
This is a good thing to chart for your doctor. Chart all triggers, sleep, symptoms and what medication you have taken when. Have you got a therapist? They could dramatically improve your symptoms. |

I get this too... I don't think it's bipolar though. From what I've read about and heard about, bipolar episodes last much longer than minutes. Even with rapid cycling. I think it's more probable that it's a side effect of one of your meds, or the result of a certain combination of meds. I would talk to your doc about it.

This could also be a mixed mood.

My mixed moods are very very different to what was described here.

I don't think it's bipolar so I don't know why this was moved here. Thanks for the replies though.

I don't read what you wrote...
your title says it all.... ...lets replace hyper with happy and depressed with sad... exactly as you described... you may experience extremes of these 2... ...if this re-occurs on a regular basis... the diazepam might only delay this mentally chosen but emotionally painfull experience... it's likely you DO need some antipsychotics... ...and there is nothing wrong with that |

I have the same problem, I will at times be clearly hypo, then to depressed in the very same day, with moods swinging everyday. I am waiting for a proper daignosis as well but I have been reading about cyclothymia. It is described as a milder cousin of bipolar with mood swings shifting in the same day, but never falling into deep depression or full blown mania and sort remaining on the normal baseline with highs and lows alternating
I could be wrong, it may be a personallity disorder. But maybe you could look into it and ask your doc about it |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
