but klonopin is exactly what I'd get to -treat- the mania, and it was effective in quelling the mania, so I both had it and yet I didn't, as the klonopin would quell it. But it would still cause mood elevation, boost my cognition, and help my creativity. Just not anything like a flight of ideas. =)
And now that I have PSSD, maybe it'll help that, too... I think it would work the same as pramipexole, if I'm not wrong about how those two drugs work (and I could be, since I don't actually know how they work).
> I had a tremendous thirst for life, and was filled with ambition. I could use that again-- I'm not depressed now either, but I don't wake up and think of infinite possibilities for myself, either... On Aricept, I felt like I could do anything, and my future was so bright. Now I just try to get by.

> Sounds like hypomania and I don't think that any mania is healthy. I love it but as soon as one is diagnosed the doctors job is to stop it, get you on an even keel so you can make rational decisions. You can't steer hypomania and next time may as bad as the first was good. It sucks.
