Hi, 

I have a quick question, and if someone could answer it I’d really really appreciate it because I stuck and I can’t talk to my doctor until Friday and I want some understanding of what’s going on. 

So, I got diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and my doctor put me on a combination of antidepressant Zoloft and a mood stabilizer, Topamax. 

The Zoloft made me super hyper so that got him thinking I was bipolar as well as borderline. Anyhow, he took me off those things and I have been on Abilify (an antipsychotic) this past week and I literally broke out into psychosis and have been having psychotic episodes. I have been acting super impulsive,  going from zero to 100 on decisions and have been overall a wreck in my mind (extreme racing thoughts, depression , anxiety, etc). 

But I was told that if I had bipolar, the abilify should’ve helped but it didn’t. I acted this way a few months ago on another antipsychotic called seroquel. 

My question is if I’m just borderline and not bipolar, why did the Zoloft make me very hyper? Would that mean I’m both? If so, why aren’t the antipsychotics helping?
