hypomania cause: caffeine or lexapro or both? :)

Posted by TriedEveryMedication on December 3, 2010, at 10:41:46

Hi Babblers,
Recently, I'm pretty sure I had a hypomanic episode. I would spend about 16 hours a day posting on some social internet site, not doing my work, etc.
I was taking 10mg of lexapro at the time. Initially, I thought it was the lexapro that did this. But concurrently I was guzzling a lot of espressos and coffee - 5 or 6 a day.
And I really never drank coffee before in my life.
I've since swapped the lexapro for effexor and cut way back on the coffee.
Anyway - I started thinking - maybe it was the caffeine that did this to me? Or the confluence of the two?
I know it is probably impossible to know, but what do you think was more likely the cause?
Thank you :)
