Everytime I go off my AD (which these days for me is always highly serotonergic) I begin to feel that way again. It doesn't really sound like hypomania does it?

> ScottYes, that happens to me ..... coming off antidepressants I get a rebound phenomenon. With nardil, I have low libdo, lots of energy, insomnia, weight gain. For about 2 to 3 after stopping nardil, I rebound to high libdo, excessive sleep with vivid dreams, lose weight, no energy. Then I stablize after that to middle ground.
I don't think it is sign of mania or hypomania. This withdrawal experience is common to unipolars and bipolars .... actually I bet even if a person without a mood disorder would have the same reaction.
