Just went out to smoke and remembered a few more things. When up, I also can be pretty paranoid, think I see 'signs', and other minor cognitive things like that. And since Ive been off the trileptal (which by the way has been about a week since I finished tapering) I have had a few days of some hyperactive/eccentric behavior and have felt unusually good during those times. But those days have been just that, one day of it. I have felt a sort of burned out feeling a lot lately though. And when I was supposedly rapid cycling the depression that followed each hypomanic period was minor and only lasted like 2 or 3 days, which is less than half the time of the hypomanias, so that is part of the reason the "depression always follows" argument (which I do believe is true), isnt enough for me right now. I would go into past history (meds and otherwise) but every sentence I type will be just one more someone will decide is too much to respond to and I really need help with this so I cant afford that unless someone asks. Ok I will stop.
thanks,
matt
