Bauxite,
The one thing that I've found with being bipolar is that I love the hypomanic high. Things are clear, there is an abundance of energy on many levels. Trying to achieve that is one of the reasons that many with bipolar go off of their meds.
Some drugs can mimic those feelings. It gets dangerous though, because they can interfere with the meds you are already taking. It is also possible to trigger another manic attack.
I wish there were a way to stay hypomanic all the time, but I haven't found it. Hypomania after all, is part of the disease, albeit a pleasant part.
Wishing you well,
--Dee
