Im going nuts right now. Im in a hypomanic phase and I cant slow down! Im irritable and motivated and on the verge of tears all at the same time. Please, someone give me some advice on what you do when you are having this happen to you!

I try to stay indoors- don't go anywhere, have someone hold your money/cards for you. Don't write any emails! (Important!) Last time I felt so restless was actually because of a side effect of abilify- internal restlessness, they called it. UGH. Anyway, I called the psych. ER who paged my pdoc who prescribed Ativan. That at least calmed me enough to focus. Until then, I'd been drinking to self-medicate... worked, but not obviously recommended!

Bottom line- call your pdoc or psych. ER and have him/her paged and go from there. Tell the nurse or whomever you talk to first exactly how you feel- don't down-play it.

HUGS and good luck! Get back and let us know how you're doing.
