no. i did not mix anything with my antidepressant. that was why i was wondering why i was acting so strangely. it is hard for me to concider that i have bipolar. is it really possible? this is the first time i have ever had a "manic" experience. don't you have to have it more often than once to qualify as bipolar? (i don't know much about the disease.) when i am depressed i never get manic or crazily happy i just stay down in the dumps all the time. i'm confused now. can someone help to fill in the gaps where my misinformation is concerned about bipolar? see, i'm not really sure if it is just the meds or something else. i have talked to a few people who think that i have just been burnt out on school and depression for so long that this is my compensation for it. but i can definitely say that the way i have been acting has been way out of character for me. i am going to see my therapist on friday so i will talk to her then. why would the effexor effect manic episodes in the first place? i guess the main thing is just that i have changed so much. i don't want to do any work. i am always bouncing up and down all the time and happy and silly. i like the way it feels. but i have been being more reckless. i was planning to get realy wasted this weekend which is something i rarely do. i think i am doing it because of how crazy this medicine or whatever it is is making me feel. what should i do?
