yeah . . . so ive had depression in cycles since i was 12. Every so many months i hit another cycle that lasts either weeks or months. I can go a few months off meds without a doctor and then it hits me again. So it just hit this past week and i thought i would take action quickly.
anyway......so my doctor started me on cymbalta 3 days ago. I just took my third pill today. 30mgs daily. Anyway . . . ive tried a bunch of different antidepressants and i think this one is having similar side effects in that my energy is through the roof and i just spent like 45 minutes dancing around the house to loud music. I have so much energy and i dont know what to do with it. I just want to go out and concour the world however i dont have enough gas in my car to go very far.
is this supposed to happen? granted i dont feel depressed like i was which was a rather quick change but i deffinetely dont feel right. to upity and trouble sleeping. my eyes keep opening really wide . . . i know that sounds weird. my pupils are bigger and i know that happens with anything affecting my seratonin. its just like im excited or suprised or something . . . i dont know. its sunday so my doctor isnt at work obviously..... has anyone else had this experience? could this be a manic episode triggered by cymbalta? zoloft did that to me too.
any advice or anything would be helpful
