I still can get bad depression and a controlled more subdued hypomania though. I might try increasing the buproprion and deplin for depression but than I'ld have to increase the antimania drugs too. The deplin really supercharged me with energy and motivation and killed my anxiety for about 3 weeks but then I returned back to normal, which was a real bummer. Anyone else try Methylfolate(Deplin)? My antimania drugs don't seem to have all the side effects like Seroquel so you may want to ask your doctor about the meds I am on. Anyone take these meds and how did they effect your mental illness?
I often get a lot of energy at night but often have absolutly no energy in the mornings. I can sleep for 14 hours straight with no problems. Anyone have similar issues.

I actually have the exact opposite issue. I have lots of energy in the morning and as the day goes on I become depressed. I have suffered from evening time depression for about 4 years now. A therapist said it could be my eating habits but I don't think it is.
