Hey Movingon69,

It's also reassuring to me to know that other people have similar experiences.

Have you told your pdoc about these symptoms? I'd want to know what they would have to say.

I have a tendency to not report those kinds of symptoms but in retrospect my life would have gone better if I had given all the harm that can come out of a psychotic mania that isn't interrupted before it spins out of control.

Sometimes the 'thought disordered' part of the mania can be controlled by just controlling the mood. I would be very careful about taking an antidepressant and watch the amount of sleep.
