I have been in the recent past, also due to med changes. I used to stay moderately depressed between episodes and hypomania was pretty infrequent. Getting me more stable and out of the funk as a baseline seems to have put me within shouting distance of hypomania because I have had fairly frequent episodes but most are pretty mild and euphoric. I have been honest with my psych NP about that and have had an office visit while I was hypomanic. She is making only minor tweaks right now. I pleaded for a cautious approach to changes because I am so tired of being depressed. Other than my persistent fog, I really like where I am between episodes (which, as I said, have been mild).
