Hi everyone...i'm new here. To make a long story story short, i take effexor xr and ativan for depression and anxiety. My doc then also put me on topamax for mood stability which really helped stabilize me and get rid of my suicidal thoughts (i was diagnosed as BP, but depressive only) Okay, here's my question: lately, i feel like i've been coming "unglued", i've been acting in ways which are not like me and others are starting to notice. I'll get depressed, then the next minute i'll be laughing. I've started getting snappy and impatient with people (completely unlike me) and just want to be left alone. I eat and sleep less, but sometimes i crash during the day and nap for hours. Last, and this is emabarrasing, i've gotten very strong sexual urges and have been dangerously close to acting on them, attending clubs alone, dressing promiscously. I know how dangerous this is but because it gives me such a high powerful feeeling i can't stop. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME???? Are these manic symptoms? Can a person who never had manic symptoms suddenly exhibit them? I am on Provera (very recently) to regualte my period, could that be screwing up my meds which were working great up until a couple of weeks ago? I see a new doc in a couple of weeks, but until then, i need reassurance and i am afraid to talk to anyone. Anyone, please help. I am trying to stay in control, but i feel like i am outside of myself watch me fall apart and i can't stop it. thanks for listening.

Watch out for the effexor.
Hi there and welcome!
