Savannah Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I started back on Zoloft 5 weeks ago because I was depressed. Now I feel that I an hypomanic. Has anyone gone hypo after being on an AD for that long? about 3 weeks before I got depressed my pdoc said I was elevated because I was smiling. It would be strange to get hypo again. i have taken Zoloft on and off for depressive cycles for about 20 years and never gone manic before.

Blahblah Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 @Savannah So you take it intermittently just for depressive cycles. How long do you usually stay on Zoloft, does it work right away? They say that SSRI's can exacerbate hypomania in people with Bipolar. It's a bit surprising that your pdoc would prescribe it, but if it worked fine in the past....

Savannah Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Blah, i usually take it for about 6 months. It took 5 weeks to get totalally out of the depression. i have had 2 pdoc s give me the same combo so I feel comfortable taking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
