> Thanks Crotale..I am bipolar..usually with starting a med and sometimes increasing I get the energetic, on top of the world type hypomania. I wondered if I was doing some sort or weird cycling. The clonazapam did help. If it persists, I'll put a call into my pdoc. Thanks so much..
You say usually starting with a med...do you only become hypomanic on meds, or sometimes spontaneously, without, err, help? If it's only on meds, that isn't necessarily bipolar, although you may need a mood stabilizer of some sort if antidepressants always cause you to switch or cycle. Clonazepam has some stabilizing effects, but anticonvulsants are more usual choices. Definitely talk to your doctor about it...when's your next appointment?
Take care,
