When I'm manic, I think the most noticeable symptom, especially for people that don't see me all the time, is if I sit still, my leg bounces. My pdoc told me to try to focus on that and make it stop. I almost laughed at her. To make it stop, the easiest way if for me to just stand up. I can't help it. When I get too wound up, the energy has to go somewhere. I took my klonopin and my trileptal about half an hour ago and I am back in loopyville. I can say that although it feels like I just smoked a bowl, I am feeling good. Although I hope that it's something that will go away as my system gets more used to it, it will be a little hard to go back to work in a factory when I can't see quite straight. Of course, this is why I waited until after I took my daughter to school to take it. I may be crazy, but I'm not dumb. At least not most of the time.
