Be careful of mania! When I was on Zoloft and nothing else (before I was diagnosed with BP), I became manic. Within a week on 25mg which is what I started on, symptoms were showing, although I didn't know that's what it was. When I got up to 50mg, it was a matter of days before full mania started. It was so bad my roommate called me the Energizer Bunny!

I had so much energy that I couldn't sleep, couldn't stop talking or moving. I felt like I was on uppers!!
