It turns out its because she’s on anti depressants.
After seeing the way she is (always happy, giddy, ecstatic). It makes me think twice about being off sertraline. Perhaps I haven’t found the right med that gets me on her level. But at the same time, I find it a bit strange that she’s happy all the time.
Probably better than being low all the time. Who am I to criticise?
Life would be easier if I could feel happy all the time haha
Yeah man I feel that. Have you ever tried anti depressants?
I’m on them, on fluoxetine I used to feel super ecstatic but on escitalopram I’m more calmer and don’t feel elated but more levelled
How come you stopped the fluoxetine? If you don’t want to say I understand.
Yeah I’ve been off em for two weeks now? I feel sort of low a lot of the time but okay at the same time. It’s strange. I feel like my mood could definitely be better though.
I stopped them cos they gave me problems downstairs haha, and I’d also crash every few days where I slept for like 14+ hours
ah Yeahhh that is not good at all. Sounds like it was more detrimental than it was worth. Shame about the drawbacks- the positives sounded really good.
I have taken antidepressant medication for 40 years and I have never been ecstatic or joyful. The best I have been able to achieve is feeling content which is definitely better than having persistent suicidal ideation.
Some peoples baseline is probably naturally like that for it to occur.
Same as people that are intensely motivated and driven all there life.
High energy people are everywhere. Just because they are high energy doesn’t mean they have no negative emotions. They are just better at hiding or managing them. High energy people make me tired being around them.
Yes I would agree.
Yes that’s true. It could just be that she’s just being herself really.
I feel like my comment on finding her happiness strange was quite rude actually. I actually like her, her positivity is really refreshing. I’m just being an arsehole
That’s what I have without the Wellbutrin. It doesn’t really pep me up that much, but it keeps me from shopping for rope.
I have a friend who became ecstatic and joyful on ADs. But he took them without being depressed or anything of the sort.
I have never felt like that. They just balance me out.
Same here. Some people inherit good genes and have abilities to lift themselves up when life strikes them.
Antidepressants make my ocd go bananas
