Hard to say over the internet, but what you describe sounds like hypomania followed by a hypocrash. Bipolar cycling possibly. It would be wise to talk to the doctor. The hypomania itself is not bad, as you noticed. It can be enjoyable. But what is bad is what follows it, the let down. And over time, these swings tend to get more extreme. And the hypomanias turn into beasts that are not so enjoyable. And the antidepressant won't seem to protect you from the downside as it once did. Best to talk to the doc about what you experienced. There are mood stabilizers that can even things out in low or medium doses that are easy to handle.
