It could be, Simcha, or at least a hypomanic state. I upped my Depakote and Klonopin, and although I slept badly last night I did sleep. And I napped a bit during the day. I think it may just be a bit activating so I'm going to try taking it in the morning rather than in the evening.
The lack of appetite has me stumped though. It happens to me sometimes, but usually only when I'm agitated. This is the third day when I really didn't want to eat at all, but ate one small meal which didn't even really taste right. All the food tasted way too strong. Sort of like when I was pregnant.
Oh well, at least I'm going to lose weight out of this.
I'm not sure if I feel any other effects. Because it's energizing, I am getting a bit more work done, I think. And my emotions may feel a bit more distant. I may possibly feel a bit flat. But my husband says it looks to him as if I'm in a better mood. Go figure.
I might ask pdoc if I can go up to .5 mg.
