Brain cooties... I like that.
I'm not bipolar, no. I believe my current dx is something real descriptive like "depressive disorder nos".. but recurrent major depression (currently mostly in remission) is my real concern. There have been times when I've mixed stimulants with other meds (concerta and lamictal, for instance) where I've felt hypomanic, but my dr and therapist have disagreed. They didnt see it as any degree of mania.. just energy etc I'm not used to. Not sure. I dont feel even hypomanic now though.. nothing beyond the hypersexuality. I do feel happier than I have in a long time.. credited to finally finding an anti-depressant (nardil) that actually works for me. I'm sure some increase in my sex drive is a result of just feeling better, more energy, etc.. but certainly not this degree.
I forgot to mention that apx 2 weeks ago, I started taking 2000mg Vitamin D (over the counter) at the advice of my podiatrist of all people. He recommended it for a variety of reasons, none of which her mental health related in any way. I googled Vit D today and it looks like there may be some relationship between this and increased sex drive? Very interesting.. I'd never have considered this. Do you (or anyone) know anything about this?
