I'm not remembering just how awful suicidal depression is, or the impact that psychotic mania has on my family. Now i just feel slow and dull and medicated. Am I the only one with this dirty little secret of missing the instability?

Nope! I think you may have just nailed the number one reason why we bipolarizing flippers stop taking the meds...I hit depression recently over missing my mania!
I dunno about you, my mania is severe and very destructive. For this reason alone, I am sticking with the meds no matter what...I HOPE
