Yikes, that sounds rough.
Have you recently changed any meds? I know my psych nurse said I could take an extra Zyprexa when I need it if things are getting out of control. Maybe you can do that with a similar med? Ask your doc. Sorry you are dealing with this! |

That sounds just like me, right now. My friend who’s a psychologist says I am having a Mixed Episode and rapid cycling.
I had a great day yesterday. High enough to feel good, but not high enough that I did anything inappropriate. Then in the early evening, for no reason, I got so depressed, I was near suicidal and I thought it would never end. Then this morning I was fine. Now, I am nearing an anxiety attack! I'll probably cycle into mania later today. The afternoon is when I ususally cycle up really high. Then I usually have an anxiety episode. But who knows, there could be a change up???? It's been like this for months! I called my doc and he gave me Klonipine for the anxiety, which helps, and when I see him again, he's going to add a mood stabilizer to my lexapro. I agree, you should call your pdoc, FOR SURE!  I hope you get some relief soon. TC

My pdoc says I'm in the midst of a mixed-moderate (296.62) episode & is adjusting my meds. I also go to indiv. therapy & dialectical behavioral therapy as I had an overdose 1 1/2 yrs. ago when I was hypo manic for about 5 mos. (loved that & ddin't tell pdoc--didn't know it was dangerous) & then suddenly dropped into a deep depression. So these episodes are to be addressed as they can be dangerous. Wishing you all the best.--Suzy

Hang in there. These mixed episodes are the worst!! For me they get triggered by stress and the holiday season is a stressful time. Hang in there all of our cycles eventually end!! Christy |
