> > > > I was on Zoloft in the past and now on Celexa for the past 6 weeks. With the Celexa, I have noticed what seems to be hypomanic states. This also happened with the Zoloft. Is this weird or does it occasionally happen? I would appreciate any info. Thanks. ~Mel
> > > Hi Mel!! This happened to me, too. Zoloft and Prozac were the easiest to tolerate. Effexor and Serzone were the worst. I don't know how common this is. I've never had a manic episode without the "help" of an SSRI. Thanks for bringing it up. I'm glad I'm not the only one and am glad to hear others experiences. Thanks for the buzz on Celaxa. I've been wary of trying it for this particular reason. Shell

> > I've ended up in restraints in psych wards for days at a time while on my SSRI flight! I'm a certifiable lunatic! Although, I do have moments of lucid clarity. Not very often but, I am blessed with them now and then.
> Me, too. I was just shy about mentioning the psychosis part of it. I didn't want to scare anybody who hasn't been through it. I'll never forget!!! Glad to see you're hear not there, Nancy!


Guess we're just the lucky few on the lunatic fringe. ha ha. Psychosis is cool for a little while. Everything is like Disney Land, you know what I mean? Everything appears, well, UNUSUAL. And being Bipolar the voices that I hear say funny things, yea, like jokes and stuff. They can be coming from my clock radio (that's turned off) or from underneath my bed. We just chit-chat and giggle. Sometimes I hear music or chiors. Beautiful stuff. Oh, I could go on there's a lot of nifty stuff that goes along with being Bipolar psychotic (either while depressed or manic)!
Remember, WE'RE NEVER ALONE...hee hee. I thought you had the experience to appreciate that.
From the lunatic fringe,
Nancy
