4. speech changes (rate of volume, speed)
5. rash decision making - quitting Uni etc

Now I'm off the meds I'm wondering what on earth I was pushing for! I know it was to prove a mood disorder but to me the above just seems like a typical teenager/young adult behaviour. I'm also angry in reading people's experiences with Lamotrigine inducing hypomania and Psych pretending to act clueless. Anyone else ever feel the same about all this? x

first up....

1, racing thoughts suggest a highly functioning mind
2, productivity is evidence of this highly functioning mind when in action
3, everyone likes sex
4, racing thoughts use the mouth to make themselves heard....(you trust yourself if you are willing to let this happen)
5, impulsiveness other than life threatening is a gift....seeking opportunities giving your creative qualities room to move.

now...secondly...

none of this is defective
Thanks for this!
