Sorry...This long so please skip if you haven't the time..
Today I awoke feeling pretty good, I went to work, and everything seemed okay. I noticed I was in a good mood, and immediately became suspicious that I was hypomanic as I always watch out for. I did have music and random disorganized thoughts Zooming around my head, but I had also skipped a dose of Klonpin the night before and chalked it up to rebound anxiety. So this morning I took .5mg of Klonopin and 75mg of Effexor and had my cup of coffee, and went about my merry way. Then out of nowhere I remembered a comment my doctor had dropped about Klonopin. He said it was anti-potentcy with regard to sexual functioning. This began to worry me a great deal, and while I was physically involved in other projects and with other peopl, my mind was spinning an anxious web and I started thinking my sexual perfromance might be negatively impacted, and was there another drug that I could take instead of Klonopin to treat mild dysphoric mania or anxiety (I'm not really sure which it is!)
I was actually disappointed that I couldn't at that very moment test to see if indeed my sexual potency had been affected!
Then I began surfing the net for research on Klonopin impacting sexual potency, and other research that might help clarify whether or not I am manic or anxious or have OCD, because nobody seems to know!
Then I noticed how common weight gain was listed as a side effect of Depakote even though it would technically be the prefered drug for my kind of bipolar disorder assuming that is what I have, and that upset me even more.
By now feeling tired and physically ill with worry, I decided to pose the following question to the PB group.
What in the name of F___ is wrong with me!!!!!!!!
Is this mind spinning mania, OCD, or Anxiety.
Thanks for posting your thoughts,
