Although i hope i am not bipolar, i am sleeping very little hours w/lots of energy and have a lifetime of far above normal productivity. thoughts?

Normal for you.: Some people are simply wired that way. You may not have a disorder at all. There are rare cases of chronic hypomania in which someone is always in the super productive, creative phase without ever going into a destructive irrational manic state. If you are on sertraline, it's a med that can send bipolars into mania, so because you haven't gone over the deep end, you're probably just born this way.

Bipolar?: Wondering if your high energy started after u began zoloft (sertraline)?. Also, wonder if there is family history of bipolar?.
