NQ.

First of all - relax. Nothing is happening to you that hasn't happened to others. You are not doomed!

It will take me awhile to digest your whole post. I'm currently having trouble reading.

> Wellibutrin and TCA's caused hypomania.

Easy decision here. Allow the hypomania and control it with an atypical AP or whatever it takes. Depakote even. Doctors only wished that such would happen to me. Yes. I think this is an experiment worth performing.

Maybe you could start with the AP first. Get settled. I would love to see you be able to handle Abilify 10-20mg. Whatever. Then, after you are at a stable dosage of the AP and get past the startup side effects, then add the drug of your choice that would otherwise produce a hypomania. The AP should prevent that from happening, and you will feel great and live happily everafter.

I guarantee it. Well, maybe not. But I like your chances. You'll have to work on the happily everafter part separately, but the process of the journey will be a joy.

I would try it. It is certainly safe.
