Sex makes me incredibly hyper as well! Recently, due to my depression, I lost a lot of my sex drive. (Considering I was a sex addict, it almost makes me giggle now.) But the times when I do it now, I get exhausted for a little while, then spin into overdrive. : ]
Try to do some small cleaning, but don't overextend yourself. You might wind up staying up all night & making yourself overly manic/irritable tomorrow. Clean a little bit to fulfill that urge, then do something mind numbing like read a boring book or some crossword puzzles.

Sex gives your brain a similar stimulation as when you're manic and all the endorphines can override what your meds are trying to do. You'd could either clean or go have more sex til your absolutely exhausted. That seems to work for me.
Just trying to fight it and go to bed always leads to a night of tossing and turning and no sleep for me

I have a question/comment about the sex/manic connection. To me it seems like the endorphins come into play when one has an orgasm. Not all intercourse results in that (especially for women). JMHO.

I agree. I was assuming the orgasm came along with the sex because it almost always does for me. When it doesn't I just become more frustrated and look for more some other means of release, usually in the bottom of a whiskey bottle.

I have just learned to live without an orgasim. Its been so long. But I know whats causing mine and its all the meds Im on. They all have sexual side effects. So I either live without the meds and have an orgasim or take the meds and just enjoy being with my husband orgasim or not. Needless to say I choose the latter.

Gah, I am sorry that meds caused that for you. But at least you still enjoy yourself & spend quality naked time with your husband. Lmao XD
