> I recently experienced a major stressor. Low and behold, I am hypomanic. This means debilitating anxiety, pressured activity, inability to sleep properly. Aka not fun.

> I have a call out to my doc. What would you suggest as stopgap treatment? A few seroquel? A little Valium?
>This is just my experience, but: benzodiazepines did not have any noticeable effect. Try 5-HTP (I can't say how much), and if that doesn't work, try 50 mg of sertraline. If that doesn't work try olanzapine or risperidone. If the key is histamine H1-antagonism and not dopamine, then quetiapine (Seroquel) would be expected to work.
