I've been seriously cycling since April. Began with hypo, went to mania with psychosis, come down, depressed for about a week, up again with a hypo, climax with psychotic mania for a few days, come down, felt normal yesterday, then started feeling weird in the afternoon, now going up again, evidently skipped the depression this time. Seriously agitated. Raging last week. Had to call in. Started pacing and wanting to rip my hair out again this morning, after being really productive last night.
What is this?! It has been pointed out to me (thanks blue!) that maybe this is a mixed episode? What do you guys think? It's seriously affecting my work functioning. I have so much trouble. I'm making myself go in. I make myself stay there, productivity at a low. Anxiety attacks, racing thoughts, torturous. I can't keep this up much longer. Called doctor. Waiting for call back. She prescribed me invega at my emergency appointment on thursday, but I can't possible afford that ($140 a month, with my insurance). Asked if I can go back on haldol. I hope she calls back today.

I get very suicidal during my mixed episodes. but that wanting to rip your hair out feeling sounds like dysphoric mania.

Please be watchful, take care of yourself and continue reaching out for help. I hope the Haldol is prescribed quickly and works swiftly. Good luck and hugs.

After pacing, raging, screaming, throwing **** around, smoking, taking a walk and having police follow me because apparently it's illegal to walk around town at night?, going to an overpass and realizing you'd have to ****ing ninja climb to get over the fence, I may be calming down a little bit... not sure though. its going to be a long night

Honestly guys, I have no idea what the hell is wrong with me because I'm not depressed right now so how can I be in a mixed situation at the moment if I'm not depressed?! I don't understand.

And the recent mania situation I had felt really euphoric and good. It wasn't like this.

It sounds like a mixed episode. I hope you feel better soon. Can you take time off work?

I can relate. Going through similar.
Wondering when it's going to stop. Some meds are so expensive, even with insurance! I was recently prescribed Latuda. Expensive, with ins. Used manufacturer's coupon, too. Not sure how to afford it if the dose climbs. Time will tell. It's a horrible wait, waiting for a med adjustment, waiting for it to take effect, not sleeping, agitation and more. I hope you can get some rest/peace somehow. I will also try to do so.

It sounds like dysphoric mania to me. You are not euphoric and certainly not happy. Hell for sure. You talk of going to overpasses and trying to climb fences - are you safe? Hope the meds at least take the edge off enough for you not to be suffering so. If not definitely bug your pdoc until you find relief. Take care.
