Does anyone else go through mood swings?

seriously... i can be super happy one minute and angry the next.. or all down and depressed and super touchy feely.. and then happy again.. or clingy.. i swear i have at least three different moods a day... sometimes an hour.

i used to take meds for depression but they made me sick and the doc put me on meds for bipolar and they made me sick and crazy. now that i'm off of em.. all i have are the mood swings.. but does anyone else have this problem

Answer:
yeah i think i have bipolar because i snap out at people for no reason right now I'm on antidepressants when I'm happy I'm real happy but when I'm sad its like the end of the world it sucks
Have you tried Effexor?
If not talk to your Doctor about them.
i did, but it turned out i was bi-polar. theres many different bi-polar medications? which one did your doctor prescribe? maybe try a different one.
no but i have friends who are moody, and it hard to hang around them.
I have mood swings as well but I am not bipolar. I have BPD... good times, good times.
I do. I'm also very emotionally sensative. Anything can trigger a mood swing, and just like yours - mine are extreme in their varaties.
I'm on medication, seeing docs, etc...bla bla.
I'm doing research into the statistics surrounding my violent mood swings. What are the triggers and what deters the first reaction from swinging, to assessing and then reacting.
Chick, your not alone
See bipolar disorder and depression at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris... on pages 5, and 2. I'd try the Lithium Carbonate, or Lithium Citrate (there are other types) as a mood stabiliser, and use the treatments shown, for depression, but they must be kept up.
