has anyone else had this reaction?

Im two half weeks past my mc and starting this weekend I have felt almost manic. Like my mind is crazy and jumpy, I cant be bored, I feel like I have to take a xanax to be brought back down to normal.  I want to drink a lot, but not by myself or anything, I want to be out socializing and drinking with my friends that Im comfortable with.  I drive faster, listen to music louder...Everything in my life feels manic right now.  I literally just pace the floor sometimes bc I cant be still. Has anyone else gone through this? If so, is it physical (like hormonal or some form of postpartum-like reaction) that my body is doing or what is emotional/mental? Please help.

i dont know for sure but i would imagine that hormones play a part in how you are feeling. i would still check with your dr. it could also be that that is your minds way of covering up how you are really feeling. all of the things you talked about wanting to do are very distracting. you may be trying to distract yourself from the bad things you are feeling. i am guilty of that even when i didnt just suffer a loss. it's important that you check in with your dr though as right now those behaviors may be pretty innocent they could become more serious if they continue. im sorry you are going through this and you feel like you are spinning. it's so hard when a baby is lost; hang in there, things will get better.

I was very much like that! I went to my dr., who told me it was a mixture of everything that I had gone through (physically from surgery and the loss/hormones, mentally and emotionally). SHe prescribed a very low dose of anti-anxiety meds for me to start when my hcg went back to 0. It has been a God-send!

 I've gotten past my manic phase now, but just wanted to let you know that you are NOT alone!

Yes - I think what you're feeling is entirely normal. I've been on a roller coaster too, sometimes needing to be as busy as possible, other times I just need to be alone and silent. The hormones are certainly doing a number on me - making me feel like a crazy person. You're so not alone. This is not easy.

I didn't have that reaction, but it sounds like you might want to talk to  your doctor about it. Just like wanting to do nothing at all is a huge trigger of depression, it sounds like you have the opposite when you really want to be right in the middle. Good luck.

This is how I felt last week. I was driving aimlessly until 1 am like I was searching for something.  loud music...walking from room to room for no real reason.  I'm still very jittery as if I am inpatient or something.  I am only 1.5 weeks out of the MC.
