Thanks for the advice so far everyone. I really do value my memory and sharpness. I was just thinking about it some more and I think I'd honestly rather be hypomanic (there really aren't too many pitfalls from my experience; a little chatty, sleep deprivation.... I'd take that over having any part of my cognitive functioning impaired any day). I'm primarily the type of person who thrives on knowledge, creativity and energy. To have even a bit of that stolen from me isn't something I'm okay with.
