Not the exact same meds, but when I was last hypomanic my psych reduced the duloxetine dose I was taking (it's an SNRI like Venlafaxine is). Within a few weeks I was pretty depressed but it wasn't as bad as other episodes I've had, I stayed out of hospital at least. Lowering the Ven. should lessen the hypomania and allow it to burn itself out. With the other drugs you'll probably be pretty sedated for a while. )I'm not a shrink but that's my experience with similar drugs).
