I am not sure why the psych NP didn't diagnose you as type II instead of not all because of the lack of psychosis. I am type II. I am taking lamictal and still get small spikes of "happy puppy" hypomania every now and then, but between the lamictal and wellbutrin I am not feeling slightly depressed as my "center" any more. So, it's early to say you miss occasional hypomania. I am not sure if it is the same for you, but others close to me don't enjoy my hypomania as much as I do. I want to have long deep conversations and I get arrogant. Anyway, welcome!
