My husband can tell that I'm much better than I was yesterday, and better than I was when I was when I was on Lithium, but he can't help me with the gray areas.

It's rather an arbitrary thing to wake up in the morning and know whether you're feeling like yourself or not (and I bet most people can trust their own judgement)...
But for 7-8yrs on Lithium I was either hypomanic, depressed, or flat and
I don't know exactly what I'm looking for now.
It's frustrating.

Last night taking 600 vs. 400mg made a huge difference.
I still have med to play with (650 today, I can take up to 750, max is 800mg).

I don't know now if I should have taken that 50mg prn dose earlier than I did today (I took it at 3) or at all because it made me tired. I felt better before I took it... But was it a healthy kind of better? And how much energy is too much energy?

Tomorrow's plan: No plan. Fly by the seat of my pants per usual.
