I have carried a dx of BPII for 3 years now. However, I have had symptoms of the disorder since I was 18 at least. I have had at least 3 hypomanic episodes all before I was diagnosed. Since I have been correctly treated I have only experienced depression and a mixed episode. I am planning on going off my meds in April in hopes of getting pregnant. I know that if I have an episode before my plans will be ruined and I have been anxiously wanting to get pregnant for a year and a half now.

I recently went off my birth control and am using other methods until I start ovulating again and get the meds removed.

So my question is: I have been having trouble sleeping (although I always do) and am taking ambien in the meantime. I recently increased my credit limit on one credit card (only by $100) w/o telling my husband. I have also been more interested sexually than in a long time. It could, however, be from going of the pill.

On my own I decided to decrease my antidepressant and my hubby is upset with me and says I need to see the pdoc to do that.

So I am wondering if these are signs of impending hypomania and should see the pdoc or maybe just normal things.

I would appreciate any insight.
