Well when I was on SSRIs I started to get really irritated. When manic I hear the clock tick really loud and normally that's not a problem for me. (I'm hard of hearing, I shouldn't be able to hear it/ don't hear it.) sometimes I hear people call my name, no one's actually doing it, and I also might feel a shadow looming around me. Plus not being able to sleep for days, spending a lot of money at once with no care in the world. I will think I'm God. But there are alot of symptoms!
