I definitely think I'm feeling the "activating" effect. At times I'm able to use the energy for something productive, but mostly it's manifesting as irritability and agitation so far. I do notice I've been starting more projects (although when the depression kicks in I don't have the energy to continue) and I've been buying stuff and maybe driving a little more aggressively. A couple of times I felt a kind of rush of euphoria but it didn't stick. There are a couple of other things I can't remember right now. I think I may be in a bit of a labile mood. I can go from happy to tears pretty quickly these past couple of days.

It's a bit of a weird combo of feelings. I think I'd like it a lot if only the depressive symptoms just went away out of the mix. I'm curious what will happen when I go to 200mg, although I'm kind of on the fence about whether to stay on 100mg a little longer to see if the dosage increase is really needed. Overall the depression is not really decreasing yet, just mixing in with the activating effects. I also have significantly worse tremors than usual, but it may be the Seroquel. I want to start decreasing that soon and ideally do away with it altogether.
