Interestingly, the new drug used to cure hep c can throw you into a manic episode. It's something that's still being looked into because they aren't sure if the medicine can cause it directly, or if it's just the sudden life change, or if it's a response to your body suddenly not having to fight a chronic infection so you have more energy that you aren't used to handling.

- hungmung 1y agoWell we might have seen it...the old hep c antiviral has been known to give people a lot of trouble mentally. I know one guy who had it, and while he was an extrovert with a lot of charisma, he developed crippling anxiety and agoraphobia which lasted for years after he was cured. YMMV. IANAD(octor) btw, I've just seen a few people go through hep treatment and heard doctors' stories and opinions.
