I think I have a touch of hypomania

Posted by 4WD on April 27, 2008, at 20:14:16

And it feels great. I'm not sure it's hypomania or if it's just that I'm not depressed anymore and feel like doing things. But I've accomplished more in the last month than in the last four years before. I am cleaning out closets. I planted a flower bed and a garden. I am cleaning out the pantry and the refrigerator and dresser drawers. I am busy all day and I *enjoy* it.

The reason I think it might be hypomania is that I am once again occasionally waking at 3 or 4 am and not being able to go back to sleep. And it's so unlike me to want to clean a closet.

And I had a really crappy day today which I am sure is from Nardil. I woke up at 3:30, got up all happy. The minute I got out of bed my BP plummeted and I had to get on my hands and knees. This went on all day. I was also nauseated. I took a nap and felt better but when I got up BP plummeted again.

My pdoc has suggested I lower my dose from 45mg to 37.5mg to help with the hypotension. I didn't do it so far because I was afraid it would interfere with my happy time I'm having. But after today, I skipped my third pill of the day and tomorrow will start following his instructions. I think. OTOH, I might keep on at 45. I am so scared of losing what I have going on right now that I am afraid to lower the dose. And I can stand an occasional bad day. And if I have a low BP spell, well, I can sit down.

Do you think lowering it by half a pill a day would interfere with my remission/possible hypomania?
