*cries* I'm too broken! And there isn't another med. And what if it does make me hypomanic but then I CRASH? That would be even worse! I haven't decided what to do with the pretty pink pills. For now, they will stay in the bottle.
Thanks Racer.

I hope you'll consider maybe giving it a try -- if it boosts you out of the hole you're in right now, it might be worth it. Especially since it may be possible to use it to boost you temporarily, then switch you over to another med for maintenance. The weight gain didn't start for me for a while, so that might help avoid ANY weight gain.
