Whats happening to my depression?!


Question: Whats happening to my depression?
I've had severe depression and anxiety with psychotic symptoms for almost a year and a half. Most of the time, my mood is generally pretty low. In the last few weeks, I've been getting these weird high moods. I have insomnia, so they occur mainly at night, and last for a couple of hours. During these highs I feel really elated (kind of..) and worked up, like I've just had loads of caffeine. I don't feel anxious during these times, and I feel wildly happy and a little hysterical. They don't have a cause, they just come out of nowhere.
After these highs, it feels like I'm crashing; my mood goes to way worse than it was before, and I feel suicidal. I haven't been on medication for a few months now. I also had a talk with my psychiatrist about it, but he didn't really say anything to let me know what's happening :S Any idea what's going wrong?
