> If one has a hypomanic response is that classed as'failure'?
I guess such a response would be considered a failure if it could not be converted into a stable hypomania or a euthymic remission. My doctor and I would consider a stable hypomania to be a success in my case. A transient response of any sort would be a treatment failure, I should think.
I don't know how a persistent manic switch would be viewed. Ideally, such a switch could be treated without removing the antidepressant.
