A low dose of AD hypes my world up, and that's the only reason I suspect of being a beeper, meep meep.

question do you have a diagnosis of ADD or ADHD?
reason I ask is anti depressants neutralize brain chemicals (by this I mean it brings all the brains chemicals to a more natural and stable level by the neurons and receptors firing and picking up the electrical impulses at a more stable even slower rate not a faster rate.)
anti depressants are not stimulants ( a kind of medication that causes someone to become hyper , manic, not able to sit still...) it actually works the opposite way making people slow, foggy minded, lack of affect (some people on antidepressants cant feel one way or anther, the meds keep them in a state of neutrality or no emotions.)
but with people with ADD and ADHD .....sometimes.... Anti depressants have a stimulating affect rather than a slowing down affect causing them to have more hyperactivity.
if you do have ADD or ADHD talk with your treatment providers there are some Antidepressants that do not have a stimulating affect on people with this problem.
my suggestion whether you have ADD/ADHD or not if this continues to bother you contact your treatment providers they can make changes/adjustments so that this doesnt keep happening to you.
