Hi. I am bipolar II w/a history of major depression. I have been being treated for it since I was 15. I am a 42 yr old female. I have just stArted experiencing mania. However, it is not dramatic or dangerous behavior. It consists of me becoming very OCD ( of which I have also been diagnosed) about cleaning the house and noticing if every part of the inside is spotless. I do this all day and into the night. I can not shut down my brain so I do not sleep very much. I usually fall asleep around 6 am each morning and sleep until 12 or 1pm and then get up ,take my meds and read online or watch tv. I have been treated w/ECT many times for depression the last of which was 18 months ago. I have never experienced a manic episode that lasted this long before (5 days.) the only thing I have taken differently is a fair amount of Aleve or ibuprofen for accute tendinitis in my wrist. However, I do not take lithium so I don't think it would cause this episode(I've heard it can if you take lithium.) I am on Wellbutrin, Prozac, Buspar, Tryleptol, Syntheoid, Klonopin , Vyavanse and in the last 5 days Seroquil (100 mg) . Could the NSAIDS have reacted w/ one of my other meds to create this mania? I have always been on the Depression side of my Bipolar. This is very new for me after all these yrs.
Thank You,
G.
