That's frustrating. I had a breakthrough of illness while changing meds and experienced hypomania again - it was so exciting and I was so productive. I accomplished 3 projects at work that had been on the backburner all in one day. I had to remind myself that this could go really, really badly really, really quickly. I've only experienced full mania once, but in retrospect, it's terrifying. That's the one thing I have to remind myself - it's important to avoid getting to that state.
