They said it all in the above posts. I'm curious what y'all call ssri-induced hypomania? My Dad and sister are both BP, and I have never been diagnosed, but I get terribly impulsive and this terrible addictive behavior (booze and stimulants)is VERY strong and destructive.
My thoughts get racy and music (just one verse) is constantly playing in my head, however, I don't go without sleep, so my pdoc says that rules out a hypomania. I'm not so sure.
Otherwise, I find the drug helpful in general, although it may be pooping out. I'm supplementing with low doses of tryptophan and everything seems much smoother, less manic. Interesting.
So for those of you experiencing SSRI-induced manias/hypomanias, does this sound familiar?
