Thank you bobby, The problem is that I am already at the highest dose of meds on these particular meds. So there really is not any lee way, other than a medication change, different meds which I am unwilling to try something new when I see this as behavioral.
Thank you isis yes I am aware of subtle changes but can get completely out of whack when I "decide" to do something really stupid like I did 18 months ago....make myself get off sleeping pills(ambien), make myself try to get back to a regular sleep cylce...I did not sleep really for 4 months and finally asked pdoc for some klonipin which did the trick. My mania turned into an awful dysphoria/mixed mood...it was terrible. I was so against getting back on a benzo but klonipin has fewer side effects than ambien so I felt better about that.

OK I just got off the phone with my pdocs office, left a message telling them that i was dealing with alittle hypomania and wanted them to know that....that I thought I was doing ok but wanted them to know about it.
