JSH - Mania causes you to feel abnormally and persistently happy, angry,
hyperactive, impulsive, and irrational at different times. These feelings
last at least one week, and may be severe enough that you need to be treated
in a hospital. Other symptoms may include:


a.. Feelings of special powers and superiority
b.. Decreased need for sleep, restlessness
c.. Talking excessively
d.. Racing thoughts
e.. Short attention span
f.. Inappropriate laughing or joking
g.. Inappropriate spending sprees or sexual activity

Mania often causes difficulty maintaining relationships with friends and
family, and can interfere with work or other responsibilities. During a
manic episode, your moods can change rapidly from euphoria to depression or
irritability

However take your meds;

Mood stabilizers - Medicines such as lithium, lamotrigine, valproate, and
carbamazepine, are often used first in the treatment of mania or hypomania.
All of these medicines may be effective, and the choice is often made based
upon what medicines you have taken before, side effects, and any underlying
medical illnesses.

Lithium - Lithium has been used for many years to treat mania. Common side
effects of lithium can include frequent urination, tremor, loose stools,
difficulty thinking clearly, or weight gain. Problems with kidney function,
heart rhythm, or thyroid functioning can occur in people who take lithium
for long periods of time.

A test to measure the lithium level in the blood is recommended regularly
when taking lithium. Blood testing is usually done every 6 to 12 months once
the lithium dose is stabilized.

Lithium can cause serious problems if you take an overdose or if your
kidneys do not work normally. This can occur if you becomes severely
dehydrated or take certain medicines with lithium. If you take lithium, talk
to your healthcare provider before taking any new non-prescription or
prescription medicines.
