> J.This has got me thinking. I get very agitated and irritated on SSRIs, hypomanic when I start Wellbutrin, unbearably insomniac and irritable on Effexor (and really anxious and I don't stop talking but I feel like s--t.) Could this mean I am bipolar in some way. I know there are irritable manias but I don't think I've ever had anykind of real *episode*. I'm certainly never euphoric (except for a few minutes earlier this year when the Wellbutrin started working.)
