Referring to your post:

> I was recently diagnosed as bipolar II after being on Effexor 225mg. I had an irritable hypomania with a lot of agitation, irritability, racing thoughts, excess energy, etc. I was sort of rapid cycling and a kind of mixed state.
You labelled what you experienced as hypomania. Why?
You seemed to convey in your description that this state was somehow different from the other states you have experienced. Taking into consideration that it emerged while taking Effexor and that you describe excess energy and racing thoughts does seem to indicate a hypomanic episode.
Can you perhaps describe in more detail what you experienced during this possibly hypomanic period?
Is there any history in your family of mental illness? What type?
