I'll go ahead and validate your validating point. I love love LOVE hypo when I'm just energized enough to get all the things done, including the creative tasks, but hate it when I get so hyper I can't hear myself think through the sound of my racing thoughts and then can't do anything. I would never want to medicate away my productive hyperness (and I don't want to medicate at all when I'm depressed.... but that's for other reasons).
