I know I asked this question a while back, but things have changed a little since then. Sorry. I'm just really curious about what type of bipolar I might have. I don't think my pdoc will tell me, though I'll ask him (again) when I see him next thursday.
I looked at the mood charts I've been keeping for the past six months and came up with several patterns. About a week before a serious depression hits me, I begin to hallucinate. Then comes the terrible low, along with the hallucinations.
This time I took Cymbalta and went up, up, up. I don't think I quite hit mania, but my pdoc said "it seems like you're bearly hanging on." And that's exactly how I felt. I felt like I was loosing control. Starting to climb walls and things. Almost went to the hospital. The hallucinations stopped though.
So, what do you make of this mess? Do you think that without the increase to 600mg Seroquel and the starting Topamax I would have kept going up into full mania? Hard to tell huh? Even with the meds I've still had some bouncing around.
