manic or normal?
i started taking zoloft for pmdd, spot dosing 50mg a week before me period. the first time i took it made me feel like i was on molly and adderall. i was saying hi to people on the street, getting tasks done, reaching out to friends, i felt so incredibly happy and alive (no feelings of grandiosity or increased self image). i told my psychiatrist this and she warned me that zoloft can induce mania in people with bpd. i just started my mental health journey and have never been diagnosed bpd, but both my mom and brother have it. i really cannot tell if im manic on it or if this is just how zoloft is supposed to feel.
i know doctors don’t know why spot dosing zoloft works for pmdd, but is it possibly it’s because it makes you a little manic at first and that offsets all the pmdd. thoughts?
