Yes, being on Lithium and Seoqual SHOULD prevent hypomania. I have thought i could be hypomanic, and take Methylphenidate, it certainly boosts dopamine and may help tiredness, i may also need a mood stabiliser-i wish i didn't. It can cause tiredness in some, especially if you tend toward ADD/HD.Cheers
