I feel like a bad board member. I haven't been around in forever, but I've felt like a human.
My bi polar is getting worse. I've been on Lamictal for about a year and everything has been great. Then about three weeks ago I noticed something was up. I was sleeping all the time, just not feeling right. I think I had a psychotic break this morning and I'm in full blown mania, but god I can't tell. I really feel like I'm losing it. My hands are shaking and won't stop. My head won't stop. I feel like I'm in this daze. I'm trying to work non stop today to keep things straight. what is going on......

Hi (((((Jessica)))))),
Could it be a panic attack? What you describe is how I get with them sometimes. And yes, mine often last more than a few minutes. I'd be hesitant to call it mania till it's lasted more than a couple days, but I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV.  The sleeping all the time, etc sounds like depression. Can you call your T or pdoc for advice? Hugs Candy |

Do you have rapid cycling Bi Polar? I do, and things go back and forth several times a day. It seems like you were doing so well, can you call your Pdoc today to possibly make an appointment?
Good luck and keep us updated

(((Candybear)))
So nice to hear from you. The thing that sucks is that I've been balancing on a wire for a few days (in denial I think). I wish this feeling was a panic attack. I'm so used to those. It's definately brain spinning and I'm pissed because if it does what I'm pretty sure it will it will last days or even a week or two. I'm thinking of calling my P Doc. I hesitate due to the fear of a med change.

Hey Best Kids,
Yeah it is thought that I do Rapid Cycle, but even the "period" of Rapid Cycle can last for days or weeks. Before I was on the Lamictal my brain was crap. I felt like I couldn't keep a straight thought at all and that I was jumping out of my skin. Then two hours later I am ok and then 20 mins later I feel like taking off my skin again. I don't fit the standard Bi Polar symptoms which drives me even more nuts because I feel INSANE.
