Beautifully mistaken, I find that some Ads that I have taken will up my energy LONG before they will help my mood at all, and have since learned that this is a common problem with ADs and certain people. Yes, I felt like I was coming apart and except for my energy being up, I was not in a good place. It felt different than my mixed episodes, but NOT GOOD. In many cases, the longer you go and the slowly increased doses will usually bring the mood up to the same point the energy is at, but it takes a while. In a way this is my com+licated way of saying stay on the meds, stay in close contact with the p-doc and realize that this side effect can happen. Huggs dear. wish I could iron it out for you.
