Sorry, I made another thread about SSRIs in here very recently but this is a more specific question so figured it'd be best to make another one...
I've been on escitalopram for a bit over 10 days - 5mg a day for the first 8 and 10mg a day since then. Since I've upped the dose to 10mg I've been feeling amazing - euphoric, energetic, etc. However, I was speaking to a friend from here today who's got experience with these things and says it sounds like I'm getting some form of mania. Since I've upped the dose, I've been getting euphoria, massive restlessness/agitation, impaired concentration, increased energy, increased sociability, an ego boost, I haven't been able to sleep and I've also been making some relatively reckless decisions.
I kinda figured most of these were a normal effect of SSRIs but now it's been suggested they're not I'm a little worried and would be grateful to hear some other opinions/if anyone's had any experience with this...I'm not bipolar and have never had a manic episode so I've got no idea what to look for.
Thanks.
