I started taking buspar at 5 pm. It knocked me out at 6pm and I woke up at 8pm. Then fell asleep at 10 pm and woke up at 12:30. My mind feels very clear and I have more energy. I don't think this is hypomania because I just got over a hypomanic episode a few weeks ago and have heard it can't re-appear that quick. But I do feel more organized mentally and not tired. I'm reading there's an activation to buspar and that it isn't necessarily hypomania in people with bipolar. But I woke up and both times started cleaning. I'm questioning all this because when I do get hypomanic, it starts with anxiety and then bam, I know it within a couple hours. I don't want to be rapid cycling but also am not well medicated in my opinion. Just taking risperidone and buspar right now. I had quit taking my meds for a long time and restarted 3 weeks ago the risperdal.
