In reply to could Aricept have induced a healthy mania for me?, posted by novelagent on June 7, 2012, at 9:09:51
I had a tremendous thirst for life, and was filled with ambition. I could use that again-- I'm not depressed now either, but I don't wake up and think of infinite possibilities for myself, either... On Aricept, I felt like I could do anything, and my future was so bright. Now I just try to get by.
Sounds like hypomania and I don't think that any mania is healthy. I love it but as soon as one is diagnosed the doctors job is to stop it, get you on an even keel so you can make rational decisions. You can't steer hypomania and next time may as bad as the first was good. It sucks.Life is good.
