I don't think that I have cyclothymia. Like I said, I'll get a professional opinion about it. I never claimed to know anything about the diagnosis part of things, but I certainly know a thing or two about drugs. Hypomania never bothered me (I of course did not realize it was going on before); I am known by my friends as the person always in control (except on Paxil). Putting up with 2-4 month depression spells has been my primary problem; I have definitely had some spells where I completely lost my energy. I had an 8am calculus class my freshman year of college that I had to skip all of the time; it still amazes me that I managed to pass it (barely) with all of the quizzes and homeworks that I did not complete. I wasn't exactly going out and getting drunk every night before class either. If I had been medicated earlier, I would probably be well on my way to becoming a computer scientist by now.
