Yes...everyone is different. My mood can cycle more than once in a day, and even though I am a bit more stable than I was before medication, I still don't stay at a constant baseline mood. For me it just helps to make the hyopmania and depression less severe. Like before medication I could go from severe depression in the morning to severe hypomania in the evening...now I generally stay between mild hypomania and mild depression. I also need to have my meds adjusted from time to time when the mood swings get more out of control. Like I said, everyone is different. Some people do find a medication that works really well and keeps them close to baseline and they don't need to adjust the meds very often. That just hasn't been my experience. Best of luck, and I hope you find a good medication mix on your first try!
