BiPolars not tolerating ADs?

First in regards to the hair loss:
IT's not vain at all to worry about hair loss. Of course you're concerned. So am I. Yes, I took a drug holiday and was only on small doses of seroquel and fish oil. That's when I started noticing it. and this was just after an unsuccessful trial with lithium. Maybe li. switched me into hypothyroid. I don't know. I've never tried Topomax so I can't advise on the titration lowering schedule.

Now, about my possible crazy rapid cycling all over the map state possibly induced by Wellbutrin. I think I'm going off of WB too. I've only been on 37.5mg for ten days. I've been a drinking maniac and just plain maniac on it since I started it. I feel totally out of control and it's scary. Wondering if it's switched me to rapid cycling again and mixed states. It only started after I began the WB two weeks ago.
Yikes. smashed my laptop screen (gone), went home with an italian that I just met...., cry and laugh all within an hour of each other. any little thing can crash my mood....I think I need to reexamine this.
anyone else have this effect? I've been on ADs alone prior to BP dx and this was the feeling of out of control. I thought it'd be different b/c I'm on 300mg of Trileptal. Maybe some BPs just cannot tolerate ADs??
