Hello. I am new to the forum but not to bipolar. I currently take welbutrin, lamictol, latuda, xanax and topimax. although topimax isnt for bipolar but it is a mood stabilizer. I take it for migraines. I have lots of other medical conditions including interstitial cystitis, fibromyalgia, IBS, chronic pain. I only take xanax becuase I was recently in a severe car accident and have anxiety but I dont take it very often.
I've ruined lots of relationships due to making rash decisions and having childish outbursts. Like posting stupid things on facebook, sending stupid texts, calling people names, threatening people...I always want revenge and I don't like to let people hurt me. It's usually triggered by stress or by an argument or if I have a bad day and someone gets a ****** attitude. It will set me right off into a manic episode. Here is an example. I was fighting with my bf because he didnt want to go to a store I wanted to go to and because I wanted to go we were going to go. So he got mad and made me even more mad so I refused to take him home and I was driving around for hours. He had to call the police to get me to stop the car and let him go home. When I get mad at him or when I'm upset about something else I take it out on him. I say stupid stuff like I hate you, you dont love me, I wanna die, dont talk to me, leave me alone, go **** yourself and the list goes on when I really dont mean those things. I tell him im a different person when I'm like that and I can't control myself. Its getting to the point now if I miss one dose of my antidepressant I'm crying but nighttime and if I miss my nightly meds (lamictol, topimax, latuda) I'm a ***** the next day and about to go off. I see a psychiatrist and hes given me lots of meds for manic outbreaks but none of them seem to be actually controlling it altogether. Not sure if anyone has tried other meds. I've also tried abilify. Oh and I also have sexual dysfunction from all these meds. I take a bunch of other meds too for my other conditions. I don't have outbursts at work mostly because I can't and no one really makes me mad. I go from crying to mad in a second and I never know which person I'm going to be that day...In serious need of some help
