That is a Great Decision. I am currently going through some difficult times and without my choice to get back on medications and to seek help again, I would probably be living somewhere else besides with my wife.

Certain Medications may give you those "Zombified" experiences. This just means you may need to try other medications. I had those Zombie feelings on Symbiax. Quickly got it changed. Many medications are out there and with the right combination, you will not have to worry about those side effects.

Yes, the productivity in those manic/hypomanic moments can get many things accomplished. But what happens when they are gone? What happens when those manic/hypomanic moments turn into Irritability and you do things or say things that later regret. This is something I have recently faced.
Stick with it! You've already taken the hardest steps.
