Fortunately, no suicidal ideation (yet?), so I'm okay for now... but I just know it's going to gradually get worse
You should let your pdoc know about the change--as he'll probably have different advice to deal with the depression. Is it typical for you to go right from mania to depression? I have bipolar II (I think--we're still trying to figure out for sure), and it seems like if I have a hypomanic episode (which I'm in right now), it's immediately followed by depression. Haven't figured out how to avoid that shift yet.
