That is totally possible, and I cannot tell you if what you are experiencing is normal or hypomania. It is impossible for me to do that online. If, however, you are questioning your level of happiniess, or it seems you are well beyond a normal persons level of interest, energy etc, then it might be good to discuss it with your doctor.

Do you genuinly have parkinsonian symptoms? If you invent a symptom to get a treatment that you think is in your best interest, there might be somthing wrong. I don't know if you do or do not have parkinsonian symptoms thought, so I can't say.
>I am not so convinced this could be hypomania..
Again, I don't know. If you are feeling "better than well", and if you continue to feel little need for sleep, then there may be something wrong.
>Sincerely, I don't get what you mean. If what I >experience let it be a hypomanic reaction; is >desirable, what makes it uncontrollable inn the >long run?
Because the body fights back. The body desires homeostasis, and if you push it beyond that it may not function optimally, it will also try to counteract the hypomania. Some drug induced hypomania also initiates rapid cycling, which can be had to treat.
Again, I don't know in your case.
