hi, i can relate to a similar experience when i was first given an anti-depressant. it was paroxetine 25mg. it took effect after putting me to sleep for 18 hours in a 24 hour period for almost 5 days. it was such a great feeling i had never experienced in my life. i was feeling so exited that i was unstoppable. i used to look forward to each and every day willing to try and conquer everything that came my way. the best thing was i cared a damn when things didn't work out.

i did a mistake on stopping it all too sudden that it wrecked havoc in my life. i had to struggle for 2 years after which i went back to the same doc and got the same pills and it worked again. i've been on this for the past 6 years and it has definitely shaped my life. i know it has side effects which could affect in the long run, but i am willing to take risk instead of being in vegetative state without the meds.

enjoy the feeling even though its induced by the meds. we deserve that happiness
