OP, you are singing my song. I'm in the middle of the longest period of remission I've had in years, and as much as I yearned for it when I was going through back-to-back mood episodes, I find normality rather boring. I don't like drama either, but I miss my hypomania and sometimes contemplate self-adjusting my meds to allow for it.
I don't do it, however, because my family and friends prefer me this way and it's easier on all of us when I'm stable. I also don't want to disappoint my pdoc, who is wonderful to me and truly cares about me. So I take my meds faithfully and live a life which, while not exciting, is acceptable to me in most ways.
