I've just recently started having problems with mood, and the first antidepressant I took (Wellbutrin)put me into a manic state. I'm now using Zoloft, but started with a baby dose and slowly worked my way up to 50 mg. Having things you want to do seems to be key with both extremes. Try to take it easy...at least you do have those other meds until you get your script filled.
