Missing hypomania is what led me to ditch meds the last time. It worked so-so for me - I had a great hypomania but a fairly severe depression. I get pretty bad irritability and anger during depression and sometimes during hypomania, but this hypo was awesome. However I know that it doesn't usually go that way for me.

I'm still undecided on my mood stabilizer. I really don't want any meds but I can't seem to control my temper without it. But I dumped my AP awhile ago and I don't plan on taking it unless absolutely necessary. Even through my bout of paranoia this week and last I didn't take it and I'm better now. So good luck! I hope it works out for you.
