Thanks so much for you reply! It's made me feel a lot better today.

Hi there,
It would be difficult to answer your question right now because I am still working on finding the right medication cocktail. I have not had the hypomania since I started on lamictal and got rid of Wellbutrin.
In a way I feel like I haven't got that level of productivity back, but I am not fully out of depression. I will have a better idea once I can conquer this low grade depression.
I agree with Miguel's Mom that I am very underproductive when depressed and I tend to have much more depression than the energetic phase. The energetic phase always begins well, but ends very badly! The anxiety is the worst part of that phase. I think that I take on way too much when I am hypomanic and when I return to normal or depression, I am so overwhelmed!
Not sure if I answered your question.............
