My manias didn't evolve for months after beginning either Parnate and Nardil. As you say, though, perhaps there is no bipolarity involved here, but rather, the reaching of full euthymia which has now pooped-out somewhat. When I went from Parnate to Nardil quite a few years ago, I felt the best I ever did. This remission lasted a month or two. I am sure that it was euthymia rather than hypomania. I can compare this period with the subsequent hypomania I experienced.
In the case of Nardil, I am not ruling out the possibility of the occurrence of a mild hypomania early in treatment. It has been reported by very many people. Perhaps the term "hyperthymia" would better fit this phenomenon.
