Hello Joe-- I can relate to your concern. I was undiagnosed for years and my hypomania wreaked havoc with my life. I'm on lamotrigen as well, and have been for about 8 months now. I'm vigilant about a possible hypomanic episode but haven't had one yet. As for the lamotrigen, my understanding is it is supposed to help prevent mania/hypomania, so maybe what you're feeling is the "shallow end of the tide pool." I guess what I'd ask myself would be whether this is in fact an inordinate amount of energy. If I thought it was, I'd contact my pdoc. But if it just feels like I'm having some good days, I'd just try to enjoy it.
