This is fantastic! You now have the opportunity to find out definitively whether or not your treament needs to follow the classic bipolar protocol, or if you are in fact among those with a much milder bipolar spectrum disorder, and will be best treated with a combination of mood stabilizers and antidepressants.
Best of luck and let us know how this all goes.

> Today I started on the 9mg patch. If the anxiety comes roaring in this will be a short experiment. Yesterday on 6mg was one of the most anxious days ever. I decided to cut the patch down in the morning to something around 4mg and that seemed to increase the dose from how I felt... porbably just due to how much is built up in my system over 5 weeks. I was wired
> all day, having anxiety attacks, and my chest hurt from the tension. I ended up taking the patch off at 1:00 in the morning because I kept waking up. The story goes that going up to 9mg the anxiety and agitation should come down. Sure hope so.. can't take any more days like yesterday.
