I think the new meds they have given me in the hospital are making me hypomanic. I have been on them since Friday. I was low yesterday morning but I had no sleep the night before. Last night I start to feel like I was getting energy and now I just feel like I need to talk a lot. I think I am on the lowest dose of the new meds so I am not sure what they will do to adjust them.

I like hypomania better than depression.

I hope that you have shared the way you feel with the doctors, nurses and staff and that they have listened. Perhaps, they have some plan to increase the doses once a certain amount of time has passed. That leaves you hanging until that time comes. I don't think you are going to see a lot of increase with the Lamictal. It takes a long time to titrate to a therapeutic dose.

They said today that since I was depressed Friday and hypomanic Saturday that he is expecting me to crash probably in a couple days and that they don't want to send me home on a high. So they won't increase the meds now because they don't want to make me manic.
