If you don't already I would invest in bright light therapy and a bottle of vitamin D. May not switch you into hypomanic but should help with the SAD. For me the crash from hypo to depression is a hard smack onto concrete. So for me it wouldn't be worth it. I can totally understand the desire though. Is there another med they could add to the mix that would level things out? I don't do well on the SSRI's (ultra ultra rapid cycle) but can tolerate Trazodone. It seems a shame to miss out on the finer things of life.
