I'm a mixed episode person, too. I've had dysphoric mania but I'm never happy or euphoric. Once in the hospital, (for a severe suicidal mixed episode) the dr told me to NEVER EVER go on a SSRI again but I was lied to and told Trintellix was not a SSRI but just a modulator. I say NO, it's more SSRI to anyone who is going to take it. Beware. I feel so much better now that it's gone.

Hope you are feeling better today. I saw your post the other day.
