[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 765876, member: 3305"] Yes Mindinggaps the risk of Mania is extremely high for a person with Bipolar disorder who is only using an antidepressant alone without a mood stabilizer. When I got manic I wasn’t sleeping, I was exhibiting risky behavior, I had rapid speech and a strong sex drive. I was in trouble! There is a movie about a woman who didn’t know she had bipolar disorder (like her brother who was less functional) till her life spun out of control and she became a high class call girl. I think the movie is called, “Fast Girl” and there is also a book she wrote about her life experience. My husband began watching this movie one morning and called me into the room and said, “That was you.” Turned my good girl value system inside out. I had lost all control of myself. Of course this was also after I had let my sons out of control teenage behaviors get the best of me and had temporarily lost my faith in God. Thank God I was restored to sanity and that I have a husband who loved me so and was willing to stand by my side through thick and thin. I would be so lost without that man. LMS [/QUOTE]
