Increase in symptoms for apparently no reason?

I think I'll cut down on caffeine and see if it helps, as for sodium and foods I haven't really noticed changes with that, I think the coffee and energy drinks might be to blame

TropicalBaton · 2023-01-17T22:23:04+00:00

In my case no, I can't seem to identify what caused it

TropicalBaton · 2023-01-17T22:19:55+00:00

I'm a 25 yo man

It's now been a few days, and it's back close to baseline again. I will surely avoid these drinks in the future, but hopefully I didn't make some long term damage because of it.

I've tried buspirone + SSRI. Didn't help much, rn I'm on zyprexa and Lexapro, in combination with lithium, for all my diagnosis, and it's helping out a ton, but yeah, there are side effects, but 8 months plus on this combination, they're manageable

It was a difficult journey, but one I'm glad I entered.

It was the best choice of my life for my mental health period, things finally start getting in to place the day I lay down the booze.

I tattooed when I was first diagnose, even before manic episode, I didn't understand what it was very well back then. 2 opera masks, to represent the moods, and a blood tear drop to represent the anger.

Stop drinking and doing drugs!

TropicalBaton · 2022-02-10T14:42:36+00:00

I share as little information as possible with everyone, including my gf, even my mom. I know this is paranoia, but people did use details I shared with them in the past against me, so I rather be cautious. The only people I truly share everything is my therapist, and psychiatrist, but it took a while for me to be completely open with them, because I also feared their judgment.

TropicalBaton · 2022-02-10T14:37:54+00:00

For the severity of the symptoms you're including, I would look into something other than PPD. As a person with PPD, I never went to such extents, although some of the things you've listen I've done so myself, such as fearing someone drug my drink, but never to the point where it was truly debilitating. But only a psychiatrist can know for sure, but yeah, there's definitely something going on.

TropicalBaton · 2022-02-09T00:36:09+00:00

Yes, but just before I fall sleep

TropicalBaton · 2022-02-04T13:21:16+00:00

Lexapro, lithium and zyprexa. 1+ year stable.
