> I don't want to take a mood stabilizer. They all suck big time making me swell or constipated. Just aint gonna take one until I think I'm God or speaking in tongues. And if the occassional benzo is all I need to quell any so called "hypomania" which is really more like occasional goofiness and immaturity and nothing more severe do I really need one? I never act on my impulses, and I'm not even sure it's hypomania or rather antidepressant induced stupidity that mimics ADHD. My sleep is fantastic no matter what state I'M in except that I need a lot of it...

I like that statment about speaking in tongues! Make sure to record it if it goes down! :-)
