Hello there,
Yes, yes, I am with you on the prozac. This last time I was put on it, I had to take 5mg every other day of the liquid, and it still made me feel high (no other signs of hypomania, just a feeling of being high).
I think I am not feeling that now b/c there was already some in my system--it's metabolite duofluoxetine takes forever to get out of the system--so yeah, I ramped up rather quickly, since I wasn't getting that old feeling of being high.
Fluoxetine being notorious for sneaking into the receptor sites for dopamine, I think I'm experiencing the effects of dopamine getting lowered.
Do you still have hand tremors (sounds like you aren't on lithium anymore)?
