dear Laura, Congratulations~! i truely do hope that your stability is long term... you know that bipolar does often have that hiatus, respite, vacation time, where you are actually unimpaired ~ if you find that this is slipping away, do not despair... there is an alternative to psych meds now. i have used it for the past 5 yrs with great success. it's called Center Point auditory therapy,, i just posted about it in Other Therapies Forum, but you can research it directly online at CenterPoint Research Institute.com... best wishes on your long term remission and recovery. Gus
