Is it possible that you are looking for the euthymia that sometimes comes with a medication adjustment? That mild good hypomania that inevitably wears off?

For me, even the best medication brought only incremental change in my overarching mood. First absence of the feeling that I'd stuck my wet finger in a light socket. Then the lifting of suicidal ideation. Then a decreasing of tearfulness. And much later the ability to actually feel joy, to feel good. I'd pretty much given up. Not feeling awful helped to get me a toehold out of the pit, but it took a while of everyday life and having the time and energy to spend on it before I started feeling good as opposed to not terrible, then not bad.

But that's me.
