DOWNWARD SPIRAL Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I posted something similar in Bipolar, but I don't know if I am Bipolar. The FIRST month was GREAT. I was happy, calm, and just enjoying life. The SECOND month was even better, happy, energetic, feeling good about myself, and accomplishing everything I wanted to do. Then came the THIRD, AND FORTH month, on a manic high and delusional, I waited it out, I didn't want to be hospitalized or highly medicated. Anyways it just went away. Now I was expecting that CRASH everyone was talking about, but its been another month, and I am back to the FIRST month status. What gives with this anyways, how did I end up back at square one. I just want to stay here where its GREAT. If I crash, and I start taking more Prozac, I will probably go really manic then. Just don't understand this stuff, I only get manic off of these SSRI's but I would rather go hypo, manic, and back to normal, then to be put on heavy doses of anti-psychotics. Looking for any kind of input. THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS <{POST_SNAPBACK}> uh if its not causing functional impairment in your life it may not be hypomania/mania. if you don't see anything wrong in how you were feeling, then i dont see anything wrong either, hehehe...some people are known to feel "better than well" on SSRIs, and life really has its ups and downs whether u are bipolar or not... but if u are worried, be assured that some of the antipsychotics (abilify and geodon in particular) really dont suck that much and arent _that_ sedating, or even stimulating. just discuss this all with your doctor! hope u keep feeling well!

Velvet Elvis Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 It is unusual to feal anything at all for the first month on 'zac, but as z. said, if it's not causing problems (spending, delusions of grandour, driving through the projects at midnight and giving the crack dealers twinkies), it's not a problem.
