That's what my psychiatrist said too, that it was his "go to for bipolar!" And it made you sleepy and impaired motor skills, huh? Hmm, that's interesting, and what I'm worried about. Another poster mentioned motor-skill issues too. Did you find that your sleepiness carried on throughout the day or did you wake up feeling refreshed?

Good luck to you with your oncoming hypomania... I hope it stays manageable for you and doesn't interfere with your life in any negative way. Thank you for sharing!
