Sometimes when your mood goes up thats alright and it can be enjoyable. What you need to watch out for is are you sleeping well. If this up mood lasts a long time and you are having trouble coping, etc. keep track in writing all your symptoms and by then you may want to report this to your pdoc. Sometimes hypomania can turn into full-blown mania. Short-term hypermania i don't feel is too bad, sounds like you cycle and that can be very stressful. Living with bipolar for over two decades i've had to contact my pdoc numerous times b/c of hypomania lasting way to long (a lot was due to stress) and my meds dosages were upped. You must be honest with your pdoc at all times in order for him to treat you properly. Glad you are posting, you are not a lone, i can relate to all you are posting, i've been cycling lately myself, 2 months ago my pdoc upped my Lithium dosage just a bit (150mgs now i'm at 1050 mgs). I feel better, but i'm still having some ups and i like that, they don't last long. Be Still and Know That I Am - Scripture
