Mel,

I think it's a good idea to take the meds. You mentioned there wasn't a total absence of depression so the meds might just kick you into a normal phase. You also mentioned being so excited or full of energy at times, like overly happy. You might want to take a bipolar quiz or talk to your doctor about that possibility. You could have major depressive swings combined with milder manic episodes. My current bf will get depressed for a long period and then manic for a short one. Consider the possibility.

Love and Hugs,
Tara
