Suggest Remedy For Feeling Hyperactive And Too Happy
I am 18 years old with psychiatric problems. My doctor has prescribed me antidepressants a month ago. However, for the past couple days I have been feeling too happy and hyper. I cannot get an appointment booked immediately. Should I discontinue using my antidepressants until I can talk to my psychiatrist?
hi, i have understood your concerns,, and in my opinion u shud discontinue your antidepressant medication until u have appointment to your treating psychiatrist..
u must be given antidepressant medication for your depressed mood and sad feelings, tiredness, decrease concentration. but u may be having hidden bipolarity in you, which can be precipitated with antidepressant meds, which can switch your mood from depressed to euphoric within a month of taking it..
it is called as antidepressant induced hypomania or mania..
your psychiatrist will give u a mood stabilizer for stabilizing your mood, which fluctuating between dysphoria and euphoria..
i hope u ll find this advice helpful.. best luck
