Q: Too Sexual Is a Mood Swing ???

My hubby is Bipolar. i dont know what type though. But he was diagnosed with this since last year August 18 to be exact.
Lately, he has this urge again to download pornographic movies, continue saying sexual things to me over the phone even during office hours. He's been staying at home for most of the time. Doing his work at home as he can do remote access. The thing that bothers me is that he's tooooo sexual again.

The doctor has changed his medication since May 15. Technically, he has been taking this new meds for 2 months. Just noticed this past few 2 weeks he is too sexual. I know men are normally like this but it seems to me he is having this mood swing again.

This is nothing new to me as he had this also last year before christmas. His doctor increased his medication. Just wondering if I need to talk to his doctor or what.

What do you think???

Before I was diagnosed with BP, and before starting on my meds, my sexual drive was extremely high, luckily, my fiance did not complain to much, but towards the end of our relationship, it caused some problems. I later found out it was a symptom of BP, in some. Since I have been on meds, for a few months, my drive has decreased to I say "normal male" .. I would suggest having him speak with his doctor if he is comfortable with it. But I wouldnt recommend demanding him to do so, just talk with him nicely, and support him, im sure he will make the right decision. I did anyways.
