Also lets me know if meds might help or other approaches....

I was on Citalopram by itself for 5 months or so IIRC before I went back on APs.
I did have one instance of hypomania actually, but it was when I was using a high dose of my steroid inhaler.
(I wasn't on any meds at that time) My psychiatrist wasn't really interested in it, or felt any explanation was needed. However, my symptoms then very much sounded like steroid psychosis.
Outwith that, I've had some depressive symptoms whilst more acutely psychotic, but nothing long lasting. Meds have certainly drained me but that's just meds.
I don't know. I'm sure it would have been caught by now in the 4 years I've been going to see psychiatrists if it was the case.
I don't know, I have this sort of desire to know my problems too but when you are prone to health anxiety sometimes it's best not to dwell on these things unless there are obvious answers.
