> I have yet to read or hear about a med "specifically" tailored for hypomania. I'm curious because this bout I'm having with depression (and anxiety), my pdoc feels may have been preceded by a period of hypoMANIA (hard to distinguish if it was just extreme obssessive thoughts and actions or if it was possibly exacerbated by being on Paxil a VERY long time). Looking back, it sure seems like it was hypomania to me.

>Consider omega-3 fish oil in any type of bipolar.Since the original article in Archives of General Psychiatry in May 99 it has been used by a growing number of patients to good effect.There is though a very small chance that it will induce full-blown mania as it has an anti-depressant as well as a mood-stabilising effect.A dose of 3-10 g daily (the total of EPA and DHA in the capsules)is commonly used and it is usually added to your present medications.No prescription is needed for it.
