hyper hyper hyper hyper! |
hi, i posted a few days ago, mentioning about exefor xl. i started the just
over a week ago and noticed really strange weird dreams. well, i dunno why
but i feel the need to post tonight. i'm feeling really really really hyper
right now, and that doesn't usually happen very often, and never as fast as
this from a depressed episode (i tried to OD last tuesday).
from about saturday i felt ok, and then from monday evening i've just been
getting hyper-er. i was at an "amusing" level yesterday, which in a way was
good because my friends came round with christmas pressents, and i had to
"entertain", which certainly wasn't a problem yesterday, but woudl have been
a few days eariler. tonight i went from jittery to WOOO HOOO! and it's not
an "amusing/funny" hyper, it's uncomfortable. everything is too slow, and my
head is going wayyy too fast. my fingers can't type fast enuf cos my head is
going too fast and my fingers are too shakey. it feels like it's taking
forever to type this.
i've had a few episodes of being really happy before, and they've led me to
do really stupid things like buy entertainment systems that i don't need,
etc etc, never mind the relationships i get into, and ideas i get. i once
told my family i was selling up and moving to india, another time a few
months back i made a proposition to one of my friends that we should start
up in business. she's always wanted to run a kinda coffee bar thing, and i
wanted to intergrate it with the music studio idea that i've had. i even
wrote to a business guy i know about it and he wanted us to see him (before
i even told her about going into "partnership")
maybe at the time, the other hyper times felt intense, but this feels as
intense as i ever remember if not moreso.
my pdoc who i seen last thur morn said that its "clinical depression" but
surely this is what is a manic episode? could it be the tabs? but i've only
been taking them since last wed, and that couldn't be long enuf for them to
take effect? what really makes me anxious is the fact that i'm goonna go
down from this with a helluva bump.
sorry, i just had to share. i feel like i need to talk lots and lots and
lots about stuff, but everyone is too slow (slow motion, not in the sense of
slow as in "mentally slow" or anything).
it's 3am here, and i usually can sleep a good 14 hours a day if not more.
but right now i'm WIDE AWAKE. I feel drained-tired, but not sleepy-tired.
not the "over-tired i can't sleep" way either, but the "my body feels like
it should be sleeping, but "my mind could do a marathon" way.
aghh!

i've had a few episodes of being really happy before,
<snip>
by this i mean hyper happy, not the kind of happy normal people are
whenever something nice happens. Really "happy" for no particular reason,
over happy too.

I did hypomania with venlafaxine/Efexor a few times - bags of energy,
racing thoughts etc.. Not enough to drain me, but enough to feel good.
It stopped when I changed meds. I miss it.

The opinions given above may be mine. They might also
just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?

As you seem worried, it might be worth getting to your local casualty
dept. I don't remember if you mentioned whether or not you have a CPN,
but if so then (s)he might be able to advise you about what to do. I've
been using Efexor for just over two weeks, and it certainly hasn't had
the same effect on me (yet?).
