I tried keep the dose low to avoid hypomania ... about 25 to 50 mgs with lithium 450 mgs. But still mild racing thoughts, more sexual, spending alittle more. It is such a delicate balance!
I have noticed that after the first 3 weeks, now I am more irritable and sleeply. I try to take afternoon naps, but can't sleep.
But without it, I am a wet noodle .... no motivation. Ah, what to do .....
Hope you are well. Sincerely, Smith
> yes! hypomanic episodes, one after another. lithium is my usual mood stabilizer, but for medical reasons, i was off of it. i was sick and low on energy, so the hypomanic episodes would burn out quickly, within a couple of days, but i became rapid cycling when i never had before. a couple of the hypomanic episodes were more mixed rather than my usual high-flying fun. i was more irritable and wanted to sleep but couldn't as opposed to not needing sleep. is this like you?
