Spent all year fighting a high!

Now I'm getting tired of doing it! Tired of upping my meds slowly, tired of trying to sleep when I can't, tired of trying to not spend money and dreading the next low.

Have you asked your pdoc if there are other options? Lithium is quite effective

I've been in pretty much the same situation as you are for most of this year. I love my hypomanias, but they almost always turn on me and develop into full-blown mania. Thankfully, my pdoc and I have finally gotten it right---the right combination of meds in the right amounts---and I've been quite stable ever since, only had one breakthrough episode of mania all summer. So, there is hope!

Well I've upped my meds again. Changed to decaf and am trying to eat better. Will have to wait and see what happens. I know most do not complain about the higher side of life, but I find it exhausting and dangerous.

Good luck with the med changes. I used to like the higher side of life but I understand what you mean about being dangerous. I hope the meds work for you quickly.

Good luck with it. I hope it settles down quickly for you hun.
*hugs* and believe in yourself.

I know exactly what you mean. Mania scares the hell out of me. It's no fun worrying that your good feeling might get away from you or dreading the crash.

Hang in there. If you got your meds right, it should be safe enough to enjoy yourself a little bit.

Well I am still bubbling along with the mania/hypomanic symptoms... I am tired so is my bank account lol... I have a new pdoc and appointment coming up next week so we shall see if my meds change again.

I hope they can find a solution for you soon!
