> Thanks Crotale..I am bipolar..usually with starting a med and sometimes increasing I get the energetic, on top of the world type hypomania. I wondered if I was doing some sort or weird cycling. The clonazapam did help. If it persists, I'll put a call into my pdoc. Thanks so much.
You sound a lot like me, only I didn't know I was bipolar when I started on Nardil.
Without doubt, it put me into a permanent hypomanic state.
Have you tried a mood stabilizer? AFAIK, the standard of care for bipolar patients is to get them on a mood stabilizer first. I'm still in the titration period with Lamictal and I don't know how much good it's doing, but at least the side effects are minimal.
SSRI's were horrible for me at higher dosages.
