I'm glad you didn't let her discharge you at this early date Bamboo. It sounds like you are doing much better on the efexor..guess I'm a little suprised at the new drug since she is still dxing you.

I would guess the questions regarding both shopping and sex have to do with mood swings...the highs and lows of BP...not uncommon to have wild shopping sprees and a lot of sex while manic.

I think the most important thing to do is to be honest with her...don't worry about how you think you appear...just tell her what you are feeling. And you remember that we have a bipolar forum here if you have any questions about that. They are very supportive and very informed.

I'm so glad you are checking in and doing better.
