[QUOTE="Steely, post: 50549, member: 3301"] Alison - when I first started Zoloft I was up for 36 hours. I could not sleep, and my mind was racing. I have no history of bi-polar, it is just a side effect of some of these SSRIs to cause activation in some people. For me, I lowered the dose slightly (or doctor did, rather) and I was fine after a couple of more days. Recently I tried Wellbutrin - and again, I was up for 36 hours - but with this medication the activation did not diminish in a couple of days, but rather persisted. It made me feel crazy, and I discontinued the medication. All of this to say, maybe give it a bit more time and see if in a couple of days he calms down. If not, then it would be time to talk to the Dr. [/QUOTE]
