In reply to Am I Bi-Polar ... or is Lexapro causing symptoms, posted by Temmie on October 12, 2003, at 14:08:22
Symptoms such as this often happen with the use of certain psyciatric drugs. This does not mean you have bipolar disorder.
Firstly analyze your thoughts. Is the mind racing related to worrying?, or related to euphoric thoughts (ie are you thinking about all of the things that you'd like to do instead of sleeping)
The litmus test for insomnia is how you precieve the insomnia. If you are really wanting to get some sleep but just feel like the drugs are stopping you - then its unlikely mania. If however, the insomnia is some sort of advantage, perhaps you enjoy staying awake all the time, or perhaps you like it in that you can get more done, then perhaps this is underlying bipolar disorder.
