before diagnosed, my episodes were seasonal.

after diagnosed and put on lithium, it all stopped.

now that I'm on lamictal, which doc says is more for depression while lithium is more combatting mania, I keep "breaking through" to hypomania. idk whether it's the progression of the illness or the med change, but some days I am actually triggered by stress.

stress never used to trigger me. it was purely seasonal.

now when I "break through" I take a seroquel and the next day I'm fine.

how often do u break into hypomania? and if you take PRNs to clear it up does it subside?
is it because the illness gets worse, even when treated?
how often do u change meds?
