Glad I'm not alone, but likewise do not wish for
anyone else to suffer so! My doc mentioned
Wellbutrin actually. Zoloft has made me hypomanic
in the past and I've had to stop. Right now I'm
also on Neurontin and have yet to go into the
stratosphere (although I really want to...) Never
had any true mania, but feel I've got some kind
of bipolar spectrum thing going on. I also have
panic on rare occasions. I don't get the heart
racing thing anymore, more like sparks shooting
around in my head or something, waves of fear.Thanks for the response, I appreciate it.
Sean.
> Sean,
> My God, I'm not alone! I've had (and still have periodically) the exact same symptoms that you are describing. I take Wellbutrin for depression, which really seems to work for me. I take Xanex for anxiety and panic attacks. I'm not recommending these to you, just giving you info. Yes, it really does suck! When you don't have the strength to even take care of yourself it can be mentally destructive. But keep on keeeping on, with a good doc and a lot of hard work it WILL get better!

Have you been experiencing extreme tiredness or exhaustion? My doc says that can cause you to be more susceptible(?) to colds and flu like symptoms. I've noticed that some of the temp changes seem to come with depressive states, but I don't know if one has anything to do with the other.....
