It took me like 10 yrs to finally get comfortable with taking an SSRI, and now all of a sudden I'm told I need to taper off it immediately. I've seen a manic person; I'm not manic. I'd rather wait to think about starting lithium when I get back to my usual self. This is all happening too fast, and I'm sure it'll dissipate in a few days?? I know depression inside and out but feeling amAzing like this is mostly new.
