My diagnosis is double depression, dysthymia with episodes of major depression.
For the last two weeks i've had a development in that during the daytime i'm ok but then when I get home I have a sensation of my head being 'stirred up'. Its hard to describe but hopefully some of you will understand? Its an unpleasant sensation and feels very physiological, like its to do with my brain chemicals. I go in and out of this unpleasant feeling during the evening, and strangely, ciggarettes make me have it.
I'm on nardil 75mg, weigh 68kg. I've been on this dose for a few months so I doubt its due to it being too high, though that has crossed my mind. I think its just a symptom of depression as I have had it before.
I hope some of you reply.
Thanks
Julie

I'm not sure if it is bipolar cycling. For example, sometimes people are more depressed in the morning. Probably something relating to the circadian rhythm.
Does if feel like you are thinking crazy? For me, xanax actually helps for that. I can tell if I have forgotten my long-acting xanax when I start to feel kind of weird (a feeling I had before xanax).

no, my thinking is normal, its a very physical feeling, like my brain chemicals are all out of whack.

Ya, mine were probably not like yours. But I have had some "weird" feelings in my head that I can't describe. I even went to a neurologist who just dismissed me and was annoyed that I could not explain them.
But speaking of cycles, I developed intense anxiety and woke up at 5 am every day no matter what time I went to bed. It was not fun.
Sorry you are having to go through them.
