BB:  I think my mania was completely chemically induced by my medication.  It was during the last leg of my ‘ramp up dosage’ of cymbalta.  That’s when my doctor knew I was more than likely to be bipolar.  I was responding too well to the medication.  I never knew that was an indication that I may be bipolar.  I remember I was happy as a “Pig in Sh!t.”  Even my wife thought I was the best husband in the world at that time.  I was doing chores like a madaman: cleaning the bathroom, the kitchen, finish painting, doing laundry…..but also sleeping with a stripper behind her back.
