Hi flawlessimperfectionsmft; I still experience mood swings even with medication. In saying that I have gotten better at controlling my temper and can recognize when it's coming from the BP. Therapy has helped me with this. Note:I was diagnosed in 2007.
If you aren't already I suggest speaking to a therapist and you may want to speak to your Psychiatrist as well. Depending how long you have been experiencing these symptoms you may need a med adjustment and/or change. Hope that helps.
