Clancy82 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hi I've been taking sertaline for six/seven weeks at 50mg and last week my doctor put them up to 100mg. Since yesterday I've become extremely hyperactive and bouncing off the walls. I find really random things hilarious, I have been singing everything, my thoughts are super fast, I've been jumping about and thinking things like I could jump off the roof and be fine. Normally thoughts like that would make me upset but I think it's all great. I feel really wired basically. It's a very nice feeling and I feel extremely happy. Has anyone else had this side affect from sertaline? X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie1986 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I used to take a really high does of sertraline in fact the highest I could have and didn't experience that. I know it feels great because the misery is horrible and any kind of reliefe is welcomed but to me what your describing is a manic high which always tends to leave to a massive low. It's not great thoughts if you feel invincible because you aren't you're as mortal as me or the next person. I don't want to rubbish you feeling great but it's seems too great and you really need to speak to the doctor about it. Hope you start feeling more level soon x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapwing Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Yes, please go to the doc asap - this sort of response to another anti-depressant was what first alerted the docs to the fact I had bipolar disorder.... I had lots of other signs, and you might not have BP, but it's still important to get help urgently. Not only can horrible lows follow, but the highs can also turn 'nasty'Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clancy82 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I have an appointment on Monday for the doc, they told me to take 50mg today and Sunday till I see the doc but I've taken 100mg because I like this feeling. I'm a bit aggravated now over loud noises and very jumpy but do feel tired now and a bit down well actually I don't know what I am, I am all over the place with my mood which makes me think it's the sertraline rather than bi polar hopefully anyway x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapwing Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Be careful.... please take the 50 rather than the 100 - it sounds like things aren't so great already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
