Hi Gary sorry I missed your reply. Though its 2 years old hope you eventually see this or that it might be helpful to others.
For me hypomania wasn't amazing. Some people get a euphoria but mine is more like a very uncomfortable, irritable, akathesia-like, pressed mood when it comes from these foods or supplements.
The hypomania I got from SSRIs if no mood stabilizer or benzodiazepine was even more intense and I would just do really stupid, immature things and get giddy.
The euphoria that some experience when hypomanic or mania I only experienced when I took flu medicine that had pseudoephedrine. At first I had a horrible panic attack after taking it and then I felt euphoria for hours.
My doctor just prescribed me to get a liver test (and some other tests) to see if that's why I have intense side effects to certain foods and medications.
Other than the above I do not get hypomanic on my own. I am diagnosed on the autistic spectrum and OCD.
When I took the flax oil I took probably one teaspoon each day for several days. When i stopped taking it the hypomania after some hours.
