A lot of what all of you have said rings true for me. I too am happy being 'stablized', but spend a lot of my time in a mild groggy 'drugged' state. Sometimes I burst out in a very clear and wonderful hypomania when my brain is sharp and I am inspired and creative and feel wonderful and full of energy. It is then that I can see my full potential and so have a hard time feeling so much less so much of the time.
I saw my pdoc and asked if I could cut back on my lithium (from 600 to 450). She also talked about increasing my paxil, no mention of increasing my wellbutrin or starting another drug. I feel overmedicated, so I want to cut back rather than add meds, but I know that this might lead me to become more unstable. This is a risk I'll take right now.
I'm really curious though -- is any medicated bipolar person out there feeling 'great'??
