only reason i want to experience hypomania is to know what dose i get that at, and then hopefully back off a little bit. the edge of hypomania is the only time i've ever felt good about myself, and the negative self-critical thoughts have stopped, and i feel optimistic and energized.
i've been a victim of antidepressants that have only "kinda" worked for the depression, and it's been so long that i've felt "well" I have gotten used to the terrible state of incomplete treatment of depression, but complete experiencing of side effects (like anhedonia, libido issues, motivation)..granted its always hard to disambiguate s/e of meds from effects of depression, but you get the idea.
so if i understand correctly, you're saying that higher doses of tianeptine actually may be counterproductive for a mood-lifting goal, at least in you? does seem like a mood stabailizer then.
