Where they felt their boundaries dissolving and some wierd creative and primal urge surface?

I would guess that since SSRI's cause apathy and general indifference to one's surroundings, coming off it might create a hypersensitivity and hyperemotionality that is not itself bad, but may be exaggerated because of the previous numbing.I know quite a few people who have taken SSRI's, and the ONLY ones I know who did well on them did not have severe or chronic depression. I don't know if your dx is chronic or severe but it sounds like it may have triggered a hypomanic episode.
