I even planned it. And finally, I wake up on a Saturday and suddenly I'm 50 times better. Like I hadn't been depressed at all. Total 180. By mid-week the following week I was impervious. And then I had an allergic reaction to Wellbutrin, which sucked, because I was flying on it. But I suppose that allergic reaction was a blessing in disguise. :/

Okay, sorry, I'm rambling. But my point is, it might be the meds that have caused such a quick and drastic change.
A week ago I stopped my antidepressant Pristiq and I also haven't had Lithium since my OD on Sunday as it messes with ECT. I think coming off both may have a lot to do with triggering the episode and then there is the ECT itself. Lithium treats mania so that is my bet as the main culprit.
