Hi BethRags. I understand wanting to feel vibrant and able to savor life. I think that wishing for hypomania is dangerous, though, and many of us even suffer some consequences from that. I understand that the line between enjoyable stability and mild or greater hypomania is a thin one. I can say that for me, very small medication changes are best for finding that fine line. Having my Seroquel XR increased or decreased by the minimum amount (50 mg in that case) can make a big difference. I won't speak directly about Lamictal because I have a feeling that my experience with it may be opposite to what you are hoping from it. Or from less of it.
