Please?
I know I'm at least hypo right now. There is no doubt in my mind. I've spent too much money, I'm not sleeping as well as I'd like, I am talking to much, etc. Not an issue for me. What is an issue, I think, is that I'm toying with the idea of not taking my meds so that I can keep riding this high. Maybe I'm more manic than I realize, I don't know. I just need someone to tell me I'm crazy, I suppose.

I have played my own pdoc a lot in the past eighteen months, and it has led me nowhere good. I got one good two week hypo out of it...great time, no dumb decisions except maybe too much money spent...but then I fell into the darkest most disturbing psychotic depression/mixed episode I've ever been in. When I started meds again they didn't work.
So I would advise against stopping meds to ride the high, as tempting as it is. They may not work te right way if you start again. And you may not get a mild, benign hypo. It could go bad faster than you're used to because you're withdrawing from medication on too of the natural cycle. But I'm sure you know all this. I totally get where you're coming from and if I felt the beginnings of a high right now I would absolutely be considering the same thing and would hope someone here would tell me the same. And hope I would listen lol. That's the key.

I sort of view appropriate hypo as a gift. It shows up every once in a while but I can't force it.
Stay on your meds. Been there and done that way to often to suggest anything else.

Ya, I don't think that's a good idea. I did that a few times when hypo and it just ended up changing the "high". I became confused, horribly irritable not to mention facing the wrath of my pdoc. I don't advise it.

I'll try to be good. I just feel like I want to be so bad. I haven't felt this good in a long time it seems. I know I won't really get away with not taking my pills anyway cause my wife will make sure I do. Bless her heart.

Trust me, it's not worth it. Stay on your meds. It will just escalate and you may end up in the back of a police car (on your way to the hospital) which always happens to me...
