I'm with Linkadge. Mild hypomania is the place to be. It's a balancing act all the time for me with my meds.

When you're perfectly stable you're not going anywhere. If you're mildly hypomanic, you're still in controll but have enought motivation to get where you want to go.
Robin Williams is a perfect example. I'm under the impression that he is medicating for bipolar disorder, but he tries to get a little above the bar without loosing controll.
Hard to do, cause even the slightest mania reminds you of greater mania!
Some people however, get to taste hypomania without ever really going manic

how long have you been taking Nardil and what dose are you at?
What is hypomania like?
I have alot of energy. I use it by cleaning all the time. I like it though. I feel motivated to get out of bed. But I think I'm talking more and it gets on people's nerves. It's weird though because I go through periods of energy and very sleepy. I can usually take a power nap and be fine though. My roommates think I am acting weird, and I guess I am since this is a change for me, but I am enjoying it. I've only been on Nardil a month and I just increased to 60mg a couple days ago. The anxiety isn't completely gone but I can tell it is decreasing and that is a relief itself. So yes, "Nardil rules!" :)

Sorry for the Spinal Tap reference, I couldn't resist.
I'm finding that my recent increase to 15mg/day of Lexapro is suiting me just fine. It's taken me three weeks to get where I am - energetic, optimistic-ish, able to FINALLY really enjoy music again. The ability for me to really enjoy music is an excellent barometer of where my head is. Right now it's in a fine place, although last week wasn't so great.
I've never had a full-blown manic experience that resulted in bad/wierd stuff happening. Never have had that kind of energy, although I have engaged in self-destructive behaviors (substance abuse) from time to time, either to take the edge off of the hypomania or drown my sorrows during depression.
Right now I am at that line and it suits me just fine...

As long as you have control, there is generally no problem. If you (or others) seem to think that there is a problem it might be beneficial to take an online test or somthing.
Some people think that hypomania should be treated. The brain only has so much cellular energy and if you are using more than you are making a crash is enevitable.
But, in reality that my bitter little envious side saying that. I was hypomanic for about 2 years and it crashed down BIG TIME. Even in hypomania you can oftentimes make decisions that are less than well thought through.

> LinkadgeMore than likly you should be aware of mania,you are maybe talking a lot,or bringing attention to yourself.In augment trials i have been there,i hate it its embarrasing,also the crash is hiddeous.
As for the orignal post,maybe hes not maniac,hell feeling well on a consistent basis could feel like mania,and anyone who suffered true emotional disorders deserves that,i take anyone acheiving success as a score for myself.Brag away man.........Brag on !
