No, I never have, and that's clearly what's been so sorely missing. . and why I have indeed gotten worse in some ways over time. I am quite clear, now, on the seriousness of this illness, and the danger of suicide in mixed states in particular, and my pdoc is as clear as he's ever been, after last weekend's emails, that mixed states and rapid cycling (in a day) have been part of the picture for a long time. I think first my CFS and TLE had to improve, for this aspect to emerge.
Plus my hypomania is atypical. Centered, calm. Grounded energy. And only a degree higher, as Brent says, normal well-being. I've felt it, and I've liked it, and not understood nor been willing to face the dangers of courting it, or letting it go on. Until this past weekend.
We didn't even discuss more Bupe. It was *so* nauseating at the end, and so far so good on Lamictal. . .it must have some AD properties. . .Or, could it be, if I am not cycling, I'm actually not that depressed???
Thanks *so* much, Scott
