I Mkrooks-- I understand your hesitancy about an official diagnosis of bipolar, but once you get it you may find it's actually a relief. It sure was for me, because it explained so much of my past. I had a similar experience to your current situation when I had been misdiagnosed MDD and was given Cymbalta alone. The hypomania that ensued cost me my job and my home. And at first it was a great ride. So to answer your question yes, it can get worse. I'm on Abilify now along w/two other meds. I haven't had any problems w/it. And 2 mg is the lowest possible dose, as you probably know. Bottom line-- tell your doc everything. Your manic episode definitely can escalate, and the consequences can be very bad.
