Ritch,

thanks for your suggestion. that and the test from http://www.dbsalliance.org helped me a lot. they said that i probably do not have a bp spectrum disorder.. the chart differentiating bipolar from adhd helped a lot, too.

i'm partly concerned because people at work have commented on how much more talkative i am. however, at work i have had a repuation for being shy or calm as i took zoloft for the past year. That little blue pill flattened my mood and enthusiasm, but my coworkers did not know me any other way.

my partner says that I seem more positive lately. but my long-term college friends have reassured me that i was like this before taking zoloft. so this seems to be directly related to getting off an ssri that was causing the negative side effects of flat mood and lethargy.

i think it may be time to look into add treatment. i think part of the 'hyper' feeling i have is due to drinking pots of coffee to be able to concentrate. they've become increasingly necessary post-ssri, but it's easy to 'overmedicate' on kona.
