Re: Zoloft mania

In reply to Zoloft mania, posted by Cyn523 on August 19, 2005, at 11:30:32

I took Zoloft 100mg one time over a year ago, and it made me agitated and dysphoric. I took it with 40mg Geodon and 100mg Topamax (which wasn't quite at a therapeutic level). I think something about combining Zoloft with the Geodon triggered those dysphoric manic symptoms. I took Zoloft for 5 weeks, though, and the symptoms started on the 4th week. I think maybe the Zoloft dose was too high and could have been lowered to 50mg, but I discontinued it cold turkey and had bad withdrawal symptoms.

> I had never been on anti-depessants previously, and I went on Zoloft, starting at a very small dose (12.5 mg). By the third day on it, I was extremely aggitated, with racing thoughts, talking fast, pacing, etc. There was movement in my peripheral vision. I stopped the drug immediately, and within hours, was restored to my normal state of being. Now, because of that situation, I've been diagnosed as BiPolar II. I thought it took ~6 weeks for anti-depressants to start working on the brain, so how could it induce mania that rapidly? Is it possible this was an ideosyncratic response??? I went on Wellbutrin after I quit the Zoloft. Have been on it for months with no adverse affects. Any thoughts? Thanks!
