I've always been a bit flakey - get really interested in something and then lose interest or change my mind, but never seemed mentally unstable. I smoked ice occassionally for seven months, had a severe anxiety attack accompanied by these weird vibrational sensations throughout my body (like a cat's purr). Since then, I've been very moody with gobs of anxiety, can't hold a job, etc. Doc says she thinks it is a sub-type of bipolar II, that the speed brought it to the surface, depleted dopamine, yadda yadda. All drugs seem to make me more anxious - possibly placebogenic? I am currently on Wellbutrin (100mg) - I'm not crying so much but anxiety is still prominent. I have samples of Seroquel to try (25 mg). I'm a little afraid to take it, but I desperately need sleep and if mania is causing anxiety maybe it's worth a shot. I didn't do well on Zyprexa, Depakote, Gabitril, and Prozac.
