ChangingMyName, thanks for clearing up the fact that you are taking Effexor under your doctor's care. I want to emphasize what Gilda has already mentioned; DO NOT STOP Effexor cold turkey because of the possibility of very nasty side effects. If your doctor decides to discontinue Effexor, it will be done over a slow reduction of the med.
I agree with everyone on getting a Psych eval. You state that your manic behavior is mild, and if that is true you may not require medication. Mild manic behavior does not have negative consequences and you are still functioning well in all aspects of your life.
