Hey everyone. I just have a quick question. Why is it that I get manic/wide-awake and hyper when I drink?
I have been diagnosed as Bipolar I with Mixed, Ultra Rapid Cycling, Borderline Pers. Dis, Generalized Anxiety Dis., Panic Dis., Obsessive-Comp. Dis., and more.
I am currently taking 5mg of Lexapro (Just started), 250mg of Depakote ER at night and 125mg of the Delayed Release Version during the day, 100mg Seroquel at bedtime, 3mg Lunesta at bedtime and 1mg of Xanax XR 3x a day.
I think I'm gonna go back to taking my 500mg of Depakote ER in the evening instead of 250 at night and 125 during the day.
I have ALWAYS gotten hyper when I drink. Even WAY before ever taiking medication. Does that mean it makes me manic? I don't really know a lot about it except I don't like to sleep when I drink and could literally drink for days on end if I wanted.
Anyone have any insight? By the way this is the 1st time I've drank in a couple months. I don't very often but when I do I drink a lot and it wires me up.
Thanks in advance. I hope all is well for you and take care.
Hugs,
