i experience extreme euphoria,followed by depression,is this normal?

[[bb...]]

i feel detatched from my body when i feel euphoria,then there's extreme depression and i feel bad for things about ten times that i normally would.i dont feel like i can spark an interest in anything all day long,i start watching a movie and stop after 5 minutes and i loved to watch them.i took benzodiazepines in high doses for almost a year and god i regret that,ive quit cold turkey but the urge to take them is so strong.

 

the euphoric feeling is so high that i get impulsive,depersonalized,jumpy,very very talkative,,but at the same time irritable...i dont know what this is!! can anyone also prepare me as to what is to come?

Sounds like you're switching between mania (euphoric feeling-not real normal calm happiness) and depression - two polar opposites...It's normal in withdrawal as your brain strives to achieve a sense of balance.

I have been getting the euphoria too...I am 10 days off. For me I wake up feeling like I can conquer the world for about an hour or two and then slowly sink into feeling bad (physically) and depressed. During the euphoria, I feel like I drank a ton of coffee (I dont do caffeine) and I feel impulsive too. I don't like the feeling but at the same time it feels good like I am coming out of the fog. I guess it is just a part of the process.

thats how it exactly happens to me,and switches about 3 times per day,i feel bipolar.but dont u think that even though the euphoric phase is,well,euphoric there's much more anxiety in it then the 'low' phase.

its just the perfect thing to drive someone crazy,just today i told my friends it would be 'great' to go to a party,and now i think i'd rather bang my head somewhere then go to a party mood is so not stable..

I've had that at times as well.  Not that I get so manic that I am acting strange.  Just that I feel very confident and want to do normal things.
