I say I am possibly bi polar II or just under on the scale because sometimes I get hypo manic. Usually when coming out of a depression when I first get all the way out I get hypo manic for awhile. Sometimes an antidepressant will trigger hypo mania for awhile. Some times I get it in the middle of a period of not being depressed. It has never really caused me any problems though. I rather like it. Recently it has been more mixed and a little more negative like agitation and I don't like that.

Fetzima made me hypo manic for two months when I started it but it balanced out. It was quite activating as it is supposed to be. I have done very well on it the last nine months. Better than anyone I have ever been on. I believe in the DSM5 if a med triggers hypo mania you may be bi polar II or have switched mania or something. They have defined it more narrowly.

Remeron has never made me hypo manic. I took it a long time ago for depression and it didn't do me a bit of good. I take it strictly for sleep and it works great but I don't see it as doing anything other than that for me. I think 15 would work as good as 30 for sleep but I think my doc figured 30 in case maybe it would help the depression.

As someone else put it....I really like me some Fetzima. lol that's how an addict would put it.
