Meds make me psychotic but functional

20F college student who started taking antidepressants bc I couldn’t get out of bed, even for food. I stopped taking them after a couple months because I felt crazy. I was hyper & reacted strongly to everything and everyone.

It’s been a year since then and I’m wondering if the “hyperactivity” was just me having a normal amount of energy for the first time in a while? I’m still not doing well, but at least back then I could focus on my hw & pay attention long enough to hold normal conversations. Now it feels like no amount of caffeine helps as much as the antidepressants I was on.

Has anyone else had similar experiences, with Wellbutrin or anything else?
