I am bipolar and have had moods/manias as you are describing. Unfortunately...you are unable to fly and you arent invincible. Please keep some rational thoughts about you. With as good as this euphoria feels you will crash and burn. That is the pattern of it. A mood stablizer taken with an antidepressant is a wise choice for your doctor to suggest. The anti d you are taking will not beable to keep the swings in moods at bay...it also wont prevent the low mood when it comes. Combined with a stablizer your mood will be somewhere between happy and having energy to work with and a normal mood. Atleast that is what I am finding on my new med change. I am taking lamictal for the stablizer and zoloft for the depression and low mood I often find myself falling into. Its still early on that I started taking the zoloft...but fingers crossed it is picking me up and out of the flat to low mood I was living with on the stablizer alone. With as good...well great that you are feeling...please be careful and contact your doc in the morning.

I agree with the last respondent, given your history this does sound like a false paradise so keep your wits about you, if you are able to do this successfully then who knows, it may be a real enjoyable change, I hope for your sake that it is.
