> When you say BP3 is that just transient hypomania from increasing or reducing AD intake?

No, it is not necessarily transient nor involves only changes in dosage.

I didn't become manic the first time until after being at the same dosages of medication for several months. While I remained hypomanic for a month or so, it escalated into a delusional mania. The mania continued for weeks despite the discontinuation of the antidepressants and the introduction of lithium. Unfortunately, after relapsing into depression two months later, the same medication no longer worked. (Actually, the story is a bit more complicated than that, but I'll spare you the details). I once became severely manic after having discontinued Nardil a few weeks prior. This is not such a rare thing with Nardil. For me, discontinuation of medication is not enough to manage these acute manias. Zyprexa and Depakote have worked great.
