Educate me on Dysphoria

Posted by Petrucci914 on March 22, 2010, at 19:12:14

Sooo...a light-bulb went off in my head at my last psychiatry appointment. We were discussing all the medications I've tried, and the paradoxical reactions I've had to most of them, especially stimulatory ones. They either did nothing or made me more tired, irritable, angry, and fatigued. My doctor told me that a lot of times mania can be noticed in the form of dysphoria. I always thought that mania was when you were really happy with a lot of energy. We now may think that I have some bipolar tendencies.

Can someone school me on Dysphoria? Is my doctor right? And is the fact that I haven't experienced any positive effects from my antidepressants be because I have Bipolar disorder? I'm now on Invega and some days I think it is helping me which is partly why my doctor thinks I may be bipolar. I'm not really happy with the sexual dysfunction. If I do have a bipolar subtype, where would the next recommendations be? My doctor hates lithium.
