Hi,

I've posted on this site before (lost my password, so this is a new user name). I've had debilitating "issues" (who knows what all it is...well, so far bipolar NOS, dsythymia, bulimia, & ADHD) since I developed PTSD at age 3. It all came to a climax in the past year and a half, and I was finally given consistent therapy, meds, etc.

I've worked really hard and gotten through soo much, and now I feel like I'm in complete remission (even conquered dependency issues). I had a little slip into depression in December, but have come out of it....how long do you think this could last? I've really changed my lifestyle, & how I think about things, and I feel like my stability (or at least ability to pull myself back before it gets bad) is fairly permanent.

I've read about (and experienced) people stopping meds when they feel recovered, and I know that a BIG piece of where I am is the 300mg of lamictal that I take. I'm just wondering how often it is that people can "recover," and lead stable lives (or close to) with a good med & therapy regimen?
