Bipolar II peeps get hypomania but not mania. Do you have periods in which you are more productive or goal oriented? Need less sleep? Racing thoughts? More energy? Us Bipolar II folks tend to hang out in depression a lot.

See, that's the thing - Racing thoughts in the beginning, yes. But more productive? Less Sleep? More energy? NEVER.
On the cocktail I'm on I don't have racing thoughts and haven't for years. The SSRI seemed to take care of that. When I was first diagnosed, I was mostly experiencing symptoms of anxiety. I was surprised when I was diagnosed with depression.
My docs diagnosis was really Bipolar II Depression. So I don't know if that means that I won't have manic episodes or what. I don't really understand the difference between this and regular depression.
