I know it's not 'happy one minute and sad the next' sort of thing and I know that mood swings are normal, but I have dramatic mood swings that last. It's not a usual thing. It happens maybe a few times a year at the very most and some years not at all! When I either get very depressed, I often have mild depressions so not the same thing, or I get in my 'crazed mood' it does disrupt my life socially and professionally and I believe my bad reaction to Prozac was actually a sort of mania. But while I may have had sexual and social indescretions, I've never gone on spending sprees or done anything most people wouldn't consider just "hyped up" for too long. Mostly, I get accused of drug use when I'm not.
So, when I go to see my doctor about going on Paxil for my panic attacks, yes, I have those too and my anxiety controls my life more than my roller coaster of moods, should I mention my mood swings? A doctor once suggested I was bipolar, but who knows! It's a popular diagnosis isn't it?
