I don't either. The thing about symptoms is that they're uncharacteristic of a person. To illustrate, descriptions of hypomanic me vs normal me.
Hypomanic me: Shop a bunch and spend a lot of money buying ridiculous "so very much not me" things.
Normal me: hate shopping, pretty frugal, have a well-defined style
Hypomanic me: I'll think I'm super-person-- throw my hands in the air and shout that I'm a genius. And hilariously funny. And should have been a race car driver, because I'm ripping down mountain passes shouting how I could kick Mario Andretti's azz.
Normal me: well, not like that. i mean, I'm a good driver, but don't spend my time thinking how I could kick M.A.'s azz. Lol.
Hypomanic me: very social. Talking like crazy even with people I can't stand. Loud. Will commandeer a gathering. Say inappropriate things. Be pretty obnoxious, really. Like a 6 year old on a sugar rush.
Normal me: very shy, pretty socially awkward, generally quiet. Seriously, I barely even talk to people I work with.
Hypomanic me: decide that giving myself a drastic haircut at 1 am with dollar store scissors (and no skill at it whatsoever, but you know, seeing how I'm a genius...) is a REALLY GOOD idea.
Normal me: would not
You get the idea.

I have heard that coming off Cymbalta can be really rough. Maybe it's something to do with that(?)
P.s. Apologies for the grammatical nightmare this is.
