It is possible that you experienced a drug-induced hypomanic episode after starting Effexor. Some would classify this as bipolar III, a relatively new diagnostic type that will be placed in the new DSM V when it is published. How was your sex-drive during this episode?Have you lost interest in previously pleasurable activities?
Is your ability to concentrate on reading impaired?
Are you fatigued or is your energy level low compared to before you were sick or when compared to the people around you?
Are you indecisive?
Do you sigh a lot?
