I dont know if this will just confuse things in this discussion, but...I love the hyperthymic part too, however, it is the crash afterwards that is so terrible. It is the Up and Down up and down, some times in the same day, multiple times...The MS, depakote, has evened out both ends, which is a choice I make. Some dullness. It is not a 'solution', but it is more tolerable.

I've been trying TCA nad SSRI, i'm actually taking venlafaxine (effexor) which increased my motivation but didn't solve my main problem which is anhedonia. i was wondering if taking mood stabilizers could bring back my good mood again ,since i've heard that the underlaying hyperthymic state could be a predictive factor for drug treatment with those kind of drugs.
