increased sex drive

I dont even know what a normal sex drive would be considerd as.... if you could help out w/ that one too that would be great...

I remember a (more or less) similar discussion about this: http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/bipolar-support-forums/ general-&-support/2682-is-elevated-sexual-desire-a-sypmtom-of-bipolar-ii

As to why this happens... that's an extremely interesting question. We know it's part of the highs, most often, along with other symptoms of the sort: overactivity, grandiose delusions, feeling on top of the world, sleeplessness, decreased need of sleep; even creativity can be a "symptom". It's part of the restlessness. But why... it's interesting to find out.

Do you have it all the time, or it varies with the moods?

Everyone's 'normal' sex drive is different. The only way you will find out what your 'normal' is (if you ARE bipolar) is to get successfully stabilized. Once your moods aren't bouncing around, you will find out what your normal sex drive is. Turns out, much to my surprise, that my 'normal' libido is much stronger than I would have imagined
