[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 149196, member: 1498"] "Responding well" to an antidepressant is, unfortunately, often the triggering of hypomania. Hypomania looks and feels wonderful. It's a chemically induced mood swing and, as swings go, what goes up must come down. When the swing back occurs, the response is to up the drug that "worked so well". But with the long term use and on the higher dose, the hypomania comes back as full blown mania; the swing back becomes a total crash including anger, aggression and hostility. Or not. But that can happen. You have to be aware of it and you have to watch for it. [/QUOTE]
