I will experience racing thoughts, more impulsive than usual, decreased need for sleep (if it wasn't for Seroquel, I'd be up all hours). It isn't uncommon for me to experience agitation, restlessness, pacing, sometimes on-the-edge-of my seat type of anxiety. There are times where I feel elated, but that's usually short-lived. Mine takes on a form where I get more of the mixed features along with it. Sometimes I am more social, feel the need to talk more than usual (although I don't always get that constant pressured speech the way some people do) and feel the need to make lots of plans. If things fall through or people can't keep up with me, I am quick to anger or get especially emotional.... although sometimes I can't keep up with my own plans and get very distracted. I used to drink a lot during these times before medication... probably to try to take the edge off.
