Link,
Thank you for your time. Meanwhile..
> That is totally possible, and I cannot tell you if what you are experiencing is normal or hypomania. It is impossible for me to do that online. If, however, you are questioning your level of happiniess, or it seems you are well beyond a normal persons level of interest, energy etc, then it might be good to discuss it with your doctor.
Dear, I can't question my level of happiness because I was an unhappy person from the very beginning. I suffered a lot from undiagnosed depression and ADHD, that effectively destroyed my childhoood, education and all the good that was there.
If it is to shed the liveliness that these two wonderful medications blessed to me, that would by all means restore the normal myself. But I hate being my old self again. I hope you get me here.> Do you genuinly have parkinsonian symptoms?
Most probably yes. I do have tremors in my hands that been worsened after being on SSRIs.
> If you are feeling "better than well", and if you continue to feel little need for sleep, then there may be something wrong.
I don't feel better than well, but I never felt this better in my life. Could this be hypomania? Let it be.. I can't care.
I was sort of hypersomnolent prior to being on Provigil. The med took away the edge of it and now Trivastal adds to the benefit. But the important thing is all the good that I experience are easily nullified right after popping a little bit of Xanax or Ativan (Benzos). That's why and how I started to hate benzos in general. I know sleeping is there in my medicine cabinet, though I would always care not to touch them again (if possible)> Because the body fights back. The body desires homeostasis, and if you push it beyond that it may not function optimally, it will also try to counteract the hypomania. Some drug induced hypomania also initiates rapid cycling, which can be had to treat.
This is really annoying. If my body fights back again to retain that old lethargic, somnolent and sombre myself; I will have to say I hate having such a steel.
A sleepy, gloomy myself can easily be restored if I keep my Provigil pills away. Should I try?
Why should I? I born with some deficits. If I correct them does that mean I do not do justice to myself?
Cheers
Mishal
