Hi Mitch

Thanks for your response.

> That sounds a little spooky.


It sure was that.

> I was 19 (a week or two before I saw a pdoc), I was flipping drastically within the space of an hour at times (with no meds at all). A friend gave me 10mg of Valium at the time and I remember this strange complete resolution of all of the symptoms within an hour.

That's a good point. I have found 2.5 mg valium helpful when experiencing intractible anxiety. If I could only remember to take it... :)

>The part that sounds "spooky" that you describe is the "low" and "bewildered" state following. That could be a temporal lobe seizure.

I think it was that spooked feeling that I was trying to describe with the word "bewildered".

> Are you on meds for bipolar, now? If so, you might want to get a referral to a neurologist for an EEG, just to be safe. I get some strange things happen when I am hypomanic too (intrusive music, sense of floating, temper spells), but my standard EEG's came out OK, so who knows? I take Depakote and it definitely "quiets down" all of that stuff.

I have discussed the possibility of bipolar dx with the doc but since I usually appear to be plain old unipolar, she thought this unlikely. I was dx'd with a double depression -- "dysphoria with major depression".

Thanks for your information. I always enjoy your posts.
