I've only been diagnosed 2.5 years and tried depakote, and I am now on Lithium which works really well for my mania. But I feel because i have been undiagnosed for 30 years I can't really pinpoint when mania starts. The more extreme symptoms have been controlled, but sometimes I just feel happy(my normal happy) and feel the urge to take my clothes off in public. If I told my doc would they increase my lithium?

Maybe... But you're thinking it through and stopping yourself from doing it. Do you want more lithium?

Who wants more lithium? How do I know it won't escalate?

Idk that's why I asked. Maybe someone else will have better help for you. I think you're showing rationalizing and self control, good coping.

Maybe you just need to do more self care, self grounding , meditation, are you eating healthy foods, etc ... It's always a good thing to check in with your Pdoc

Good Luck
