Hypomania... is a dangerous state of mind. It cannot be harnessed without placing yourself at risk for full-blown mania, not to mention the detrimental effects of gradual sleep deprivation.
It all started when I removed Piracetam completely from my regimen and placed Aniracetam back in the spotlight. I was only taking modest doses, at 800 mg BID with Alpha GPC. Selegiline may have potentiated the effects, though I suspect I may be Bipolar as this is not my first abnormal episode.
Things were great at first, and I found myself making lots of new friends, performing well beyond performance standards at work, and remaining completely organized all at the same time. However, I slowly became more and more irritable overtime, and found my anger issues escalating to the point of rage (though I was able to hold it in quite well), as well as my mood rapidly cycling as each day progressed. Today, I woke up at 1 am, after only 4.5 hours of sleep, with my mind racing, and that's when I knew I probably should reexamine what's going on with my mind and body.
So this morning, I implored with myself to stop all supplementation and go back to square one with either significantly lowered dosages, or simply resorting to a very minimalistic stack. It's a shame really, because I really loved the huge increases in productivity levels and mood. But my rational self acknowledges that this is probably going to be unhealthy for me in the long run, and so I resign myself to reality once again...
It is through the help of this community that I am able to be who I am today, and I am most grateful to you all for the helpful advice and encouragement. Never stop improving, never stop achieving, let's live out our dreams!

Lower selegiline or stop it. It's probably all because of high dopamine. Maybe you could increase serotonin to counter the effects. If you are bipolar, why not consider adding low dose lithium as mood stabilizer?
You could also explore other ways to increase dopamine that are not as strong as a maoi like deprenyl. Or, if you generally have a problem with increasing dopamine, stop trying to increase it at all.
