 Two months ago a "normal" person was telling me how confrontative I was...I was hypomanic of course, since then have been physically ill with virus then ear infection and have had no confrontations with anyone at all during this period. I live outside the USA permanently as an ex pat and take Lithium 900 mg. 3x day and am presently taking WellBrutin for depression (mild)does anyone have GENERIC (not US or Canadian BRAND NAME, the BRAND NAME of meds is often different here where I live, formula the same) name for a good med to control hypomanic episodes? As I look back I see when I am cycling a bit manic, I can be agressive with thoughts racing. Thanks.

 Dear Tropical guide...talk to your doctor about a good med for hypomania. And the doctor where you are living can also give you brand names for the meds you are taking.
