>>The best word's, description, I can use to describe the effect's that these medication's had on me was, like a hallucination, a similar feeling to that of LSD, mescaline, ect.
Hello,
I had the exact same experience on zoloft. THat was how I knew I was definately bipolar (I also have had mania from lack of sleep or street drugs).
My brother has unipolar depression and didn't notice the effects of the SSRI he was on for like 2 weeks! Not me, I felt like you did, the first day on Zoloft I was close to hallucinating and it was wild to say the least.
I hope you find out which mood stabilizer is right for you. Remember to try to keep a regular sleep schedule until then (I know, that is hard).
Amy
