When I first started taking Prozac I had a week of what I would call hypomania. I felt absolutely wonderful. Then the Prozac settled (or my own body settled) and I became "normal" (I'm also on Lamictal and an AP). To say I was disappointed is putting it mildly. I felt/feel baseline normal now and would love to find a physically safe and legal way to feel nicely hypomanic without slipping into a weird hypo. Who can blame us? Of course we want to feel terrific.


That said, I'm glad you've decided to stay on your mood stabilizer primarily because if you suddenly stop it you will likely have physical withdrawal symptoms and that's definitely not fun. But, if you decrease it slowly...well, you know where that leads. So yeah, it's entirely up to you, Hitch.
