> I thought I was clear, but maybe I wasn't. No, i haven't experienced this before w/ starting or stopping a med. But this feeling is not unfamiliar = hence nothing to do with meds. In fact Zoloft was only my third. I've been in the med ordeal for less than a year now, even though I've suffered from depression most of my life.

> katiaSo, you have had these feelings without meds triggering them before? Wow, that sounds like bipolar for sure then (IMO). I would certainly divulge these details with your pdoc-better late than never. I realize they may likely bomb you with mood stabilizers that you may not tolerate, which may not work well, etc., but that can always get tweaked and changed, just be upfront about side effects and effectiveness, etc., and try not to get stuck taking something that clearly doesn't work or makes you feel crummy for too long a time.
