I have used it in the past myself but without mood stabilizers (pretending I had moderate depression and ADHD because stigma). I was drinking back then and that's a bad combo for hangovers and irritable hypomania. So I stopped taking it. Now I am taking lamictal and not drinking.
Anyone have familiarity with titrating? I am trying to make sure I am attributing the swing to the right day. I am taking 225 today, down from the 300 yesterday. I still feel slightly hypo but a little mellower this morning. It's weird to feel like hypomania is a drug high.
