I Am Not An Expert With Bi-polar Disorder

I would definetly not say that you was bi-polar. Bi-polar is mood swings,depression, then that of dulusions, and suicide thoughts ect...! I would most likely say that you have paranoia! Might want to look into getting help some counseling may do some good! Suicidal thoughts are not good.

Sounds more like pychosis, then bipolar(manic-depression) disorder.
Best thing to do is write down how you feel,and what happens during the day. Then go show it to a doctor(a md one that can give meds and diagnoses mental illness) and talk to him.

you can not be diagnosed accurately as long as you are taking drugs
at least that is what I was told by many pdocs in regards to my son being suspect as having bipolor like me...

Alot of your symptoms are charactaristic of a manic episode, (psychosis)
but again in your case it could very well be the drugs....
So you see you need to be drug free for a few months , talk to a pdoc about your ssuspicions but also be upfront and let the pdoc know you are on drugs too

haloperidol I belive is a antiphyoctic that's why you feel so tired and weak.
Hydrozyzine I belive is a pain killer not sure about the other.. I'm wondering why he would give you antiphyoctics. Unless he using the antiphyoctics as a mood stablizer.

welcome do you actualy know them by there name and not there long scientifice name? Like lamtrozine is lamictal. How long have you been on them maybe you still need to get use to the side effects, if there not working I would go talk to your doctor about it.
