What is your hypomania like? I don’t think I have hypomania or mania.

Start taking note of the symptoms, so you can tell your pdoc about them. You might think about your pdoc that you think Geodon would not make you as uncomfortable as another antipsychotic.

They were gonna prescribe it once but I declined

I can’t make any guarantees, because the same med. can affect different people differently, but I have come across several people, myself included, who really like it.

Hypomania is hard to discern.
Because it looks like happiness and enthusiasm.
That’s why most cases with bipolar 2,
are diagnosed as depression.

I have happiness and sadness occasionally but i think its normal for my age

Yes, cyclothymia happens often in puberty, I think.

I definitely have depression, but
also ultra rapid mood swings.
