I do take meds for mania (Zyprexa & Geodon); I'm just not taking the daytime dose of Geodon or Lamictal atm. I am usually very med compliant, for some reason I just got a wild hair up my butt and decided to play around. Like I said I don't know if I'm hypo because I'm messing with the meds or messing with the meds because I'm hypo. You know, the old chicken-or-the-egg question. I'm leaving my nighttime meds alone, not tweaking them because I've accidentally forgotten them on occasion and not been able to sleep AT ALL. I know what happens when I don't sleep well for more than a couple of nights, I get manic AF. and I don't want that. I just want to feel really good for a little while. I'll go back to my normal schedule if things start to go sideways. Now worries.
