hypomania cause: caffeine or lexapro or both? :)

Posted by TriedEveryMedication on December 3, 2010, at 10:41:46

Hi Babblers,

Recently, I'm pretty sure I had a hypomanic episode. I would spend about 16 hours a day posting on some social internet site, not doing my work, etc.

I was taking 10mg of lexapro at the time. Initially, I thought it was the lexapro that did this. But concurrently I was guzzling a lot of espressos and coffee - 5 or 6 a day.

And I really never drank coffee before in my life.

I've since swapped the lexapro for effexor and cut way back on the coffee.

Anyway - I started thinking - maybe it was the caffeine that did this to me? Or the confluence of the two?

I know it is probably impossible to know, but what do you think was more likely the cause?

Thank you :)
