I've talked to multiple psychiatrists about a similar experience, and yes I do experience this. It's probably not bipolar or classic "manic-depression" because by definition (i.e. the DSM criteria for the illness) you'd tend to be in that heightened happy or agitated state for several days or more like a week before sinking into depression again. There is also "bipolar II" where you tend to be depressed most of the time with short manic bursts from time to time, but even that is usually for a day or so.
It could be a side effect of your zoloft.. rapid mood swings..but the only way to find out is to stop taking it or talk to a doctor. They'll probably just tell you it's normal and to try to practice recognizing/controlling it somewhat.
