So, some similarities, but there was really nothing positive or enjoyable about my experience. Also, for me it began within hours of taking the first dose which kind of made me think it's more likely to be a med reaction than an actual mood issue, but I'm not certain of that.

You are right, but the world doesn't seem to work like that, at least in mine.
My psychiatrist is tired of me going on about this, so I don't bother discussing it with her anymore.
She said something that left a lasting impression on me. It was about the type of illness and interest doctors have that determines if a patient gets treatment or not. If the illness is minor, they seem to lack interest in the patient and will refer or just give up. If it is an interesting illness that is clearly treatable, they will go out of their way to help.
Me, I was blamed for all my problems. I was the root cause.
