I talked to my psychiatrist today. I told him about my medication adjustment and he said that he probably would have made the same adjustment. We talked about the symptoms I had been having, though I forgot to mention the pressure to talk. The antidepressant reduction seems to have ended the hypomania and I haven’t swung into depression. I’m seeing him next Friday so I’ll keep him updated.
