There are no details on this particular study, however, I believe the woman had no prior history of hypomanic behaviour (read somewhere ...)
You may want to try Lithium Orotate from Vitamin Research Products and/or Magnesium Natural Calm Tea from Vitamins That Work for sleep and hypomania.
I've heard more good things about Magnesium. It was used prior to WWII for treating manic-depression. George Eby has some more information on it here:
