I have been on several antidepressants, most recently Effexor and Zoloft(prescribed by a GP). He was beginning to think I was treatment-resistant. When I started the Zoloft, I went hypomanic (?) for about 3 or 4 days. I wasn't familiar with that term at the time. Finally after I said something about the "chatter" in my head won't stop...and by this I mean 10,000 thoughts going different directions at once, he prescribed Zyprexa. I'm feeling a LOT better and my thinking seems pretty clear and I'm not as distracted.
I have heard that if antidepressants cause one to go manic, it is most likely because they were bipolar all along. Is this a true statement??????
