A year ago August I had just started Effexor and Zoloft ( a couple months earlier) my wife went out of town for a week and my psychiatrist was also on vacation and I was at a gas station and had bought a scratch off but then the cashier said (we take credit cards for scratch offs) one week later with little sleep I was 35000.00 in debt . I have always cleaned , talked etc compulsively in a mania but never gambling. I called but doc was out of town so got a nurse practitioner who stopped meds that triggered it and compulsion stopped and have never gambled since and have no desire. That sent me into several month -3 month depressions with manias in between. I’m finally stabilized after a year but like a tornado passing through there is tons of clean up. So very exhausting . Can anyone relate.

Hi USMCBIPOLAR7.
For those who feel alone, or simply wanting to reach out for a chat without judgement......Psych Central is the place. There are many good listeners here... we're a pretty good bunch. I have been an active member of this site for more than 3 years. In that time I have received some really constructive feedback and connected with several others with similar challenges to myself. I have also found hanging out in the Games Forums to be a welcome distraction in times of stress... a great way to clear my head, meet like minded others, and have some well needed fun. New members also benefit greatly from perusing the many forums available here...lots to explore. Also after 5 approved posts members have the option to join the chatrooms..or chat one on one with other members. Should you have any questions on navigating this site, please don't hesitate to private message me or any of the other Community Liaisons who will be more than happy to help. Just click on the screen name above my avatar. Please be kind & generous to yourself USMCBIPOLAR7, and welcome to P.C

Yes, I can relate. Anti-depressants made me aggressive and my psychiatrist considered that mania. I take a low dose of a mood stabilizer now instead and that seems to help my depression without making me manic.
