my WAW is not bipolar but she has epilepsy and her meds to prevent seizures can cause her to act bipolar.

She was recommended to take antidepressants.

before the meds did your waw just impulsively do things? no logic? panic attacks? paranoia? temper and emotions high and low and up and down?

i'm glad things are working out for you. congrats on the selling thehouse


Hi James,

My W has always battled depression. She had one bad panic attack shortly after our second daughter was born. However, impulsivity, paranoia, agitation, and rapid cycling did not really occur until after she was on the anti-depressants. There is an unofficial diagnosis of Bipolar III that is defined by the patient only experiencing the manic symptoms after taking anti-depressants. My diagnosis would be that, but I am not a doctor by any means. She has been off the meds since October and still has bouts with depression, but she manages it. She is still a little impulsive at times, but that is one of the things I love about her smile
