It's probably a bit late for this answer but if it helps, my own behaviour changed quite significantly when I first started to use Epilim. I couldn't deal with people at all. At any social gatherings like church I would find a chair in a corner where no one would come and talk to me. Sometimes I would even go and sit in the car away from everybody. Getting through a day at work was exhausting. (I'm a teacher.) Over the first 6-8 weeks the problem lessened and I got back to loving being with people. I still find everytime my medication is changed, up or down, I have a few rough weeks. I also tend to get tired and cranky and snap at people around me when my medication has changed or is not at the right level. Again, 6-8 weeks and I am back to myself.
