[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 76730, member: 1514"] I tend to agree with MWM about how I feel with the hypomania and mania. Mine isnt fun. I dont get the happy, joy, joy times where I feel wonderful and want to go have a wonderful old time. I get stupid. The things I do when manic or hypo are simply dumb. I also get irritable, angry and feel like I want to climb out of my skin. Not sleeping for days on end makes me edgy as all get out. I dont like any of this and so Im constantly on the look out for sliding into hypomania. If I start spending too much money on dumb things, feeling too up, talking too much, having too many racing thoughts, not completing sentences...I start looking at my medications and making sure I havent skipped a dose or something. Sometimes I have messed up and missed one. Sometimes I am coming down with a cold. Sometimes my world is going cranky on me and I need to hibernate. I cant get to the manic phase or Im in trouble. I have two people watching me closely. Anytime I start any new medications we watch me like a hawk. Jury is still out on Lyrica on how it is effecting me. I like the pain control but my mood is iffy but that could be environmental right now. [/QUOTE]
