It is actually supposed to have that effect. It is an SSNRI and acts on nor ephinepherine. I took Pristiq for a year and it didn't have that effect on me but now I take Fetzima which is also an SSNRI and it made me hypo manic for two months.

It did go away though. Since May or June I have been pretty calm and normal energy wise. Things should balance out. I figured it was way better than the depression I was in to be hypo manic.
