I'll try to keep this as short as possible.. A few weeks ago, i ran out of my abilify and depakote. I have cymbalta that im still taking but had to let the others lapse because i quit my job. In the meantime, i just started a new job that has me stressed out. Ive been quite productive, but still get depressed when i get bored. Sleep patterns are normal, but ive lost my appetite the last 3 days. Ive eaten 1 small meal at like 8 each night. I dont really feel manic or hypomanic. Is this mixed? I still dont understand what a mixed state is. Thanks for reading and any advice is appreciated.

You say you are not hypo, but I'm kinda concerned by your last post " I can't stop." You say you are depressed right? Mixed is depressed and manic at the same time. It's different for everyone. For me I was energetic, sleeping 2-3 hours, irritable, trouble focusing, rapid thoughts, but then I felt hopeless and suicidal as well. This is just my experience when I had a mixed episode last March. Mine started when I came off of seroquel and was not on an AP just Lamictal. You really need to see your pdoc, this is serious being that you ran out of meds and this is now happening.

I don't know if it's a mixed state or not, and wouldn't want to hazard a guess. Blacksheep is spot on that it's something to discuss with your pdoc asap. If cost and/or insurance is an issue would your pdoc be able to provide samples of the abilify and depakote?

I know i need my meds too. Im not sure when my new insurance kicks in. Abilify is too expensive. In the meantime, im also blaming the job for the last few days of being without appetite. I am restless. My body just aches from not having a nonstop retail job. The appetite has been gone since the job started, but ive been restless and irritable for weeks.

The other side of my situation is that we just moved about 3 hours from my pdoc too. There are really good docs here, but i dont have the money to go see anyone yet.
Part of me is screaming that ive overturned my life by moving closer to my hubbys family, i hate this new job. I had to take it since we are now broke. Hes not working yet and we needed money asap. We also have a 4 year old together. Im just stressed and frantic. |

How long ago did you stop your meds? It can take a few weeks to even months for them to stop messing with you.
What you describe does not sound like my mixed episodes. My mixed episodes are this burning energy inside me, making my skin tingle and burn. I can sleep with meds, not without, I am constantly and dangerously suicidal, I self harm to try and let the energy out. If anyone gets on my bad side they get their head ripped off. Im completely agitated and energetic yet so low I feel I cant live another day. |

Yeah I agree, Mixed episodes have been the absolute worst thing I have ever experienced. Thats why I think it is kind of strange that people wonder if they are in a mixed episode cos you'd bloody know if you were! There is nothing like it and it is pure hell.

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