I am extremely exhausted and calm.
Today in the Drs office..my blood pressure was sky high (so high he asked me to contact my GP because this is the 2nd time he said). I have been super out of my mind since June when my Lorazepam was changed from 3 pills a day to 1. Not able to sleep, angry, irritable...and they all say I had "mania". Today, I got a new drug for moods and 3 Lorazepam BACK. I feel so relieved...drained...tired...and KNOW I will sleep tonight. I have been so much more pleasent in the last 3 hours and so much is going on in my life...and everything is ...ok right now. So is mania sometimes based on a circumstance vs a state of mind that just appears out of nowhere? |

It may have been benzo withdrawal, not mania.

moose/wildflower...no I don't think it was withdrawal..cause i was just MAD about losing them...yes, June, July, Aug I had withdrawal and "mania".
But, I honestly could get thru a whole day (Sept, Oct) without thinking about a Lorazepam pretty often (even thou I did take my ONE almost everday)...but I really do think it was the circumstance..that pushed my "behaviors" to go crazy. Because I was having more stressful times obviously Nov/Dec (holidays) that my "mania" was off the charts..but now I know I have a bigger "safety net" I have calmed way down. |

I was just pretty much wondering the same. Do episodes get triggered by single events? Sometimes for me they do, for example my last hypomania ended when a good friend left the country. But sometimes they also show up for no reason at all.
