> Coming off a SSRI (or TCA in your case) can be emotionally liberating. I went a little loopy coming off an SSRI simply because there were so many bottled up emotions that were suddenly unleashed. Anger, fear, rebound obsessivness, joy, love. I also had a rebound sexual desire that was very strong, since I very little sexual desire on the medications.
Absolutely. Most heightened libido ever experienced, in addition the heightening of every emotion. When the crash came, it crashed real hard, which made a stronger case for bipolar dx. But if the brain is going to right itself, settle etc, I'm sure that depression is expected, just as sleep follows waking hours. There has been no major depression apart from directly after the manic episodes. There's been depression, but not like that.
Looking forward to Bipolar III becoming something more probable, something researched to a greater extent.
