It seems I found a Pdoc and started treatment and meds just in time.... I am very slowly going into a hypomanic stage I think. I am not worried about it, as long as I behave normal and get some sleep. I haven't slept well this week because of a cold, but I am starting to feel some hypomanic symptoms... Hmmm

The Lamictal goes to 50mg on Thursday, coming right up, then up to 75 mg the week after, etc.

I am hoping that by the time I get to 100-200 mg that it will help stabilize me as it did in the recent past. I am going to be much more careful this time. a few years ago, I fanned the flames of my mania heavily and let it get out if control. Not this time, I've got a good doctor in my corner with psychotherapy and meds to help me out!
He's a highly rated Pdoc, with a lot if experience treating bipolar.

I know what I am dealing with this time!
