I have recently accepted the diagnosis of biplor. My life has been a roller coaster with much anger and mania. This mania and I suppose depression has led me to drugs. I have been through treatment 4 TIMES! I am fortunate to have a good job today. I have always been a go getter and highly motivated (mania I suppose) I had to visit a doctor in May of 2002 due to an addiction to GBL (GHB analog). He put me on Effexor with the idea that depression led to this addiction and Zyprexa for sleep. I have always had a MAJOR problem with sleep. This led to my GBL addiction. GBL, if not familiar is a chemical which knocks you out for 2 to 3 hours waking up feeling very rested. It also cause euphoria leading up to this sleep. Anyway I have noticed the Effexor and Zyprexa have helped me greatly, which led me to believe this diagnosis of bipolar (through out my drug addiction treatments and visits to pdocs) may be right on the money.
