I am 18 years old with psychiatric problems. My doctor has prescribed me antidepressants a month ago. However, for the past couple days I have been feeling too happy and hyper. I cannot get an appointment booked immediately. Should I discontinue using my antidepressants until I can talk to my psychiatrist?
Hi, I have understood your concerns, and in my opinion u shut discontinue your antidepressant medication until u have appointment to your treating psychiatrist.u must be given antidepressant medication for your depressed mood and sad feelings, tiredness, decrease concentration. But u may be having hidden bipolarity in you, which can be precipitated with antidepressant meds, which can switch your mood from depressed to euphoric within a month of taking it.it is called as antidepressant induced hypomania or mania.your psychiatrist will give u a mood stabilizer for stabilizing your mood, which fluctuating between dysphoria and euphoria.I hope u ll find this advice helpful. Best luck
