I got to say here that I feel this way right now and I am on Remeron (not an SSRI but an atypical AD). I have what I believe to be AD induced hypomania going on and I don't like it. You have described me to a tee.

I feel out of control...a little and I really don't think I have bipolar as I am not manic when I am off of AD's. If I stop the Remeron I get depressed so I am going to ask my pdoc for Lamictal. I tried Abilify and it made me sleepless and restless.
