(allergic reaction) My struggles with bipolar/manic

, , ,

So after a week off the pristiq and having an allergic reaction im starting to have alot of manic episodes..Im feverishly and spontaniously doing things and feeling the go.Go.Go mode.Itll only be followed by a downslide but when i dont know yet..Im in bed by 10 and 11 and up at the crack ass of dawn ready to do something..The haldol works good but it doesnt keep me at a level ground. its either a high or a low mentally..Anything in between is a rareity anymore.When i take it i pass out for an a hour and half then feel like shit for about an hour..I have to say on a postive note no more real delusions as long as i dont stare into the sky to much.at times i have to take 3mg instead of 2 mg just to slow my self down..Whether or not its good for me i dont know..All i know is a crash is going to happen i just dont know when.i also fond out this past week that im a 3rd generation bipolar/ manic peson.my grandma(r.i.p),my mom and now me have or had this mental disorder.grandma drank and ran away from her kids and became a jesus freak later in life,my mom ignores it and puts me down for doing something about it.

(lots of mania may 3rd)My struggles with bipolar/mania

Since ive stopped the prestiq ive noticed alot of mania..Was it worth stopping the script vs having welts on my hans and fingers.Yeah,but this roller coaster hasnt peaed yet an its begining to spill out again..Lil to no sleep,taking short and brief naps..It really sucks.When the top of the hill hits its going to be a good sign. need to level out soon..Ust go.Go.Go and very bothersome to feel that way..Imm finding things todo when i need to be still and pay attention..If i could id wear my shoes to sleep just so when i do fall asleep and wake up i cand do something.(this is what manic/mania does to me)

January 19 2012 (Day 2 cedars center) After a rough night and not sleeping much they finally found something thatll put me to sleep. Im back on lithium carb for depression and chlonodine, and trazodone are new for me for sleeplessness and stress.Im not liking this controlled enviorment and especcially not being to have a ciggerette.They put me on a nicotine patch and lousengers to help with cravings.The foods good and staff seems nice.I dont care for the mini classes i have to go to but who knows maybe ill get out in a few hours because its a 24hrs release i think.I didnt like being woke up an being held down so they could draw blood,not one bit and i let them know how i felt about that.Give a brother a chance to wake up not subdue them once they wake you up.
