I do get to missing the energy Of hypo though.
I was way overmedicated, then went completely off antipsychotics and mood stabilizers, enjoyed intense creativity and intense emotional life for more than 6 months, but, since I am taking 50 mg of Elavil for sleep and Elavil is an AD, in September I became hypomanic enough to go inpatient for several days. Now I take Lithium every night and yes, most of the time it feels like a controlled hypo. Recently though I have been hypo out of control, so I am taking Zyprexa PRN for that and it helps, together with a slew of other methods of calming down.

It is not a perfect solution, but it is at least a lesser ill than being heavily overmedicated.
