Wildman,
I have been on Lex for about 2 months for depression... I was feeling pretty lethargic and unmotivated at that time. I know that "slightly manic" feeling since starting Lex as well. At times, I go on cleaning sprees when I do tons of laundry, pick up everything, and rearrange rooms of furniture. Sometimes, I have this sudden urge to skip or run around the neighborhood (not that I actually would do this, it is just the urge). I definitely liken the feeling to long summer days when I was about 13. I don't believe I am bipolar, these effects have only come up since I began taking the medicine. I initially went to see the Pdoc because I was having a difficult time getting through the loss of pets. However, I can now say that I have been suffering with this depression for years. I have been sullen, irritable, lazy, and no fun for the last year alone, but because the depression was gradual, I didn't notice the changes. Now with Lex, I remember how much I love to laugh, exercise, and even have SEX! I haven't had any of the sexual s/e just because I feel so good about myself right now. I can say, I am scared that my Pdoc will try to take the meds away and I want to feel this way all the time!
