Tell your pdoc about your irritability, although you're not feeling it right now. That is very important. Just show up telling your pdoc what you feel, i.e. depression, manic attacks, whatever you've been going through, it is all important to convey that. And let your pdoc know that you don't want to gain weight (Depokote makes you gain weight), and not zombie like because you have a job as a teacher and need to be alert. Yes this is a good time to see what works for you during the 2 weeks off.
Sounds like you could be experiencing a hypomania with being sooooo happy, that doesn't sound right to me. Be careful with the highs we experience.
My experience with Bipolar has been rough, and I know you're feeling good right now, but it isn't going to last, I hate to tell you that, but its true, you will crash and become depressed. At least that is what happens to me when I'm not on meds. I found Geodon to be a life saver, I have no more voices in my head and it keeps my irritability in check.

I trust that everything happens for a reason, even when we're not wise enough to see it.
