I am hypomanic now, but for the life of me cannot recall how long it lasts before I am in real trouble (I know different person to person), I want to enjoy it a little but am also scared I am in for another ugly ride.
And why the heck am I taking so many meds if I am up for months then down for a month then back up, I mean five years of this and still not stable. ..... I could do this on no meds.
And sorry if you guys are all sick of my lately, ....

Sorry I chopped up your post, I did it so I could remember to respond to all the things I thought of while reading it......
The last time this happened to me, I was hypo for 3 days. I cannot tell the signs when it phases into manic because I'm too busy hoping it'll stay and won't turn into mania. I can only tell when I've hit manic.
If you've been with the same psychiatrist for these past 5 years, maybe you should seek a second opinion.
We are not sick of you. This forum would be slightly boring, with much less posts to respond to if you weren't posting. And you obviously (by what you say) need support and have questions.... Thats the whole point of this place!
