Hi bella420! I noticed you said you feel manic. Sometimes when a person is on antidepressants & experiences mania, their actual diagnosis is BiPolar Disorder. While there are many similarities, the medications used to treat Bipolar Disorder are different from those used to treat Major Depressive Disorder. It's worth mentioning to your psych prescriber. Being on the wrong meds is no fun!
