I remember myself having hypomanic episodes as side effects of different medications i took. About 4 months ago, i was on 20mg Zyprexa and i started showing symptoms of mania/hypomania. I was only sleeping for 3 hours a day (no signs of tiredness), getting a new piercing every 3-4 days, talking a lot and fast and i was paranoid. I talked to my doctor about this and she said “yeah, you seem a bit high, you would be much worse if you werent medicated”. I never asked my doctor about the details of my diagnosis and i wonder if i would be manic if i was not on Zyprexa. I plan on quitting that drug because of the side effects that ruined my academic performance and i don’t know if i’ll end up depressed, hypomanic or manic. How do I truly know if I’m bipolar 1?
