I'm wondering why people don't like mania. I felt so full of energy, so happy, so active first weak on Zoloft. But it faded and I felt very, very depressed.
The type of mania I got wasn't the good sort. On Zoloft I was sprinting from one end of the house to the other, running head first into walls, screaming and spinning around in circles, throwing myself into thing, just completely out of my head crazy manic. It was too the point that I was a danger to myself, and ended up with a mild concussion and bruising. The way I flipped out though, it could have been a lot worse. That's why I'm so hesitant about taking an SSRI again, even though I trust my Pdoc 110% and I know he would look after me if anything did go wrong.
